Researchers seek help from deep learning methods to alleviate the enormous burden of reading radiological images by clinicians during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, clinicians are often reluctant to trust deep models due to their black-box characteristics. To automatically differentiate COVID-19 and community-acquired pneumonia from healthy lungs in radiographic imaging, we propose an explainable attention-transfer classification model based on the knowledge distillation network structure. The attention transfer direction always goes from the teacher network to the student network. Firstly, the teacher network extracts global features and concentrates on the infection regions to generate attention maps. It uses a deformable attention module to strengthen the response of infection regions and to suppress noise in irrelevant regions with an expanded reception field. Secondly, an image fusion module combines attention knowledge transferred from teacher network to student network with the essential information in original input. While the teacher network focuses on global features, the student branch focuses on irregularly shaped lesion regions to learn discriminative features. Lastly, we conduct extensive experiments on public chest X-ray and CT datasets to demonstrate the explainability of the proposed architecture in diagnosing COVID-19.
