Beyond diagnosis: is there a role for radiomics in prostate cancer management?

At present, therapeutic and prognostic recommendations for prostate cancer (PCa) predominantly hinge on risk-stratification tools that are built upon clinical parameters. Recent evidence indicates that incorporating imaging can enhance the precision of prognostic models based on clinical factors. However, challenges like subjective interpretation, variability in image analysis, and the absence of reliable quantitative measures need to be overcome to fully

AI-aided software for detecting visible clinically significant prostate cancer on mpMRI

This study seeks to determine if artificial intelligence (AI)-based software can improve radiologists’ performance when detecting clinically significant prostate cancer. Sixteen radiologists from four hospitals participated and were assigned 30 cases, half without AI and half with AI. The authors determined that the AI software improves the performance of radiologists by reducing false positive detection of prostate cancer patients while

AI for prostate MRI: open datasets, available applications, and grand challenges

This narrative review provides an overview of the current state-of-the-art artificial intelligence (AI) applications for prostate MRI by focusing on open datasets, commercially and publically available AI systems, and challenges. The authors state that large amounts of research are still required in order to successfully utilize AI in the whole prostate pathway. Due to the rapidly growing field, continuous up-to-date

Tasks for AI in prostate MRI

The authors of this narrative review aimed to introduce quality metrics for emerging artificial intelligence (AI) papers, such as the Checklist for Artificial Intelligence in Medical Imaging (CLAIM) and Field-Weighted Citation Impact (FWCI). Furthermore, the study dives into some of the top AI models for segmentation, detection, and classification, while concluding that prospective studies with multi-center design will need to

Single-center versus multi-center biparametric MRI radiomics approach

In this study, the authors’ aim was to investigate a previously developed radiomics-based biparametric magnetic resonance imaging (bpMRI) approach used for the discrimination of clinically significant peripheral zone prostate cancer (PZ csPCa) through the use of multi-center, multi-vendor (McMv) and single-center, single-vendor (ScSv) datasets. Using these datasets, the authors were able to determine that a single-center trained radiomics-based bpMRI model

Multiparametric prostate MRI quality assessment using a PI-QUAL software program

We know that the technical requirements for the acquisition of multiparametric MRI of the prostate have been clearly outlined in the PI-RADS guidelines, but there is still huge variability in image quality among centres across the world. The Prostate Imaging Quality (PI-QUAL) score and its dedicated scoring sheet represent the first attempt to standardise image quality, as they take into

Multiparametric MRI and auto-fixed volume of interest-based radiomics signature for clinically significant peripheral zone prostate cancer

The purpose of this study was to create a radiomics approach based on multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) features that were extracted from an auto-fixed volume of interest (VOI) that quantifies the phenotype of clinically significant peripheral zone prostate cancer (pCA). The study included 206 patients and the authors concluded that the developed radiomics model that extracts mpMRI features with an auto-fixed
