Summary

The investigators propose an AI methodology combining machine learning, histological results and expert image interpretation for the development of a PI-RADS 3 classifier.

Detailed description

Prostate cancer is the most common carcinoma in male patients in Western industrialized countries. Multiparametric prostate MRI (mpMRI) can select patients who may be potential candidates for biopsy. In this study, the investigators present a comprehensive methodology that evaluates a multitude of AI algorithms and assesses their performance on a large and high-quality dataset, aiming to generate an efficient model and develop a PI-RADS 3 classifier. By combining the power of machine learning with the information provided by mpMRI, histopathological results as well as expert image interpretation, the investigators attempt to improve the diagnostic accuracy, which in the future my lead to more informed clinical decisions and reduce unnecessary biopsies.
