Diagnostic Utility of Artificial Intelligence–assisted Transperineal Biopsy Planning in Prostate Cancer Suspected Men: A Prospective Cohort Study
European Urology Focus
Guenzel et al. Sep 2024
Accurate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) reporting is essential for transperineal prostate biopsy (TPB) planning. This study documented the diagnostic utility of using PI-RADS and CAD for biopsy planning compared with PI-RADS alone. A total of 262 consecutive men scheduled for TPB were analyzed. The tested CAD tool for TPB planning improved csPCa detection at the cost of an increased number of lesions sampled and false positives. This may enable more personalized biopsy planning depending on urological and patient preferences.

Quantib® Prostate Compared to an Expert Radiologist for the Diagnosis of Prostate Cancer on mpMRI: A Single-Center Preliminary Study
Tomography
Faiella et al. Aug 2022
This study evaluated the clinical utility of an Artificial Intelligence (AI) radiology solution for prostate cancer (PCa) lesions detection on multiparametric Magnetic Resonance Images (mpMRI). Prostate mpMRI exams of 108 patients were retrospectively studied. The diagnostic performance of an expert radiologist and of an inexperienced radiologist aided by AI were compared. The results demonstrated that the AI software is a very sensitive tool to use, specifically in high-risk patients (those with high PIRADS and high Gleason score).
