Mitigating bias in radiology: The promise of topological data analysis and simplicial complexes.

Topological Data Analysis (TDA) and simplicial complexes offer a novel approach to address biases in AI-assisted radiology. By capturing complex structures, n-way interactions, and geometric relationships in medical images, TDA enhances feature extraction, improves representation robustness, and increases interpretability. This mathematical framework has the potential to significantly improve the accuracy and fairness of radiological assessments, paving the way for more equitable patient care.
