Example of how improper feature removal from imaging data may lead to bias. (A) Chest radiograph in a male patient with pneumonia. (B) Segmentation mask for the lung, generated using a deep learning model. (C) Chest radiograph is cropped based on the segmentation mask. If the cropped chest radiograph is fed to a subsequent classifier for detecting consolidations, the consolidation that is located behind the heart will be missed (arrow, A). This occurs because primary feature removal using the segmentation m
