Deep learning assessment of prostate cancer aggressiveness using the early fusion of pathology and radiology data

BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES

The Prostate Imaging Reporting And Data System (PI-RADS) is used to evaluate the clinical risk associated with a potential tumor. However, the PI-RADS score is subjective and its assessment varies between radiologists. A definite diagnosis of prostate cancer requires a biopsy to obtain tissue for pathologic analysis. A prostate biopsy is an invasive procedure and is associated with complications, including hematuria, rectal bleeding, and risk of sepsis.
We hypothesized that an Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based model can be trained on multimodal data of prostate cases for the early diagnosis of prostate cancer using MRI images that ar ...
