"Explainable AI for Precision Diagnosis in Gastroenterology: From Algorithms to Clinical Adoption"

The rapid evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) in medical imaging has opened transformative possibilities for gastroenterology, enabling earlier detection, more accurate classification, and personalized management of gastrointestinal (GI) diseases. However, the clinical translation of these technologies faces significant challenges, particularly regarding the interpretability, trustworthiness, and real-world utility of AI-driven decisions. This Special Issue seeks to bridge this gap by highlighting cutting-edge research on Explainable AI (XAI) frameworks specifically designed for gastroenterology imaging, with a focus on translating algorithmic innovations into clinically actionable tools.

We invite contributions that address the intersection of advanced AI methodologies, domain specific clinical needs, and human-centric explainability in GI endoscopy, radiology, and pathology. The issue will serve as a comprehensive resource for researchers, clinicians, and regulatory experts working toward auditable, ethically aligned, and regulatory-compliant AI solutions for digestive health.
