Anatomically Faithful but Temporally Blind: Auditing Attribution for Left-Ventricular Ejection-Fraction Estimation from Echocardiography

Background and Objective: Deep video models estimate left-ventricular ejection fraction (EF) from echocardiography with near-expert accuracy, and post-hoc attribution (Chefer relevance for transformers, Grad-CAM for CNNs) is increasingly used to certify that models "look at the right place." Yet whether these explanations are faithful both spatially and temporally is unaudited. Because EF is defined by the end-systolic (ES) and end-diastolic (ED) frames, a faithful explanation must localize the…
