Artificial Intelligence & Prostate Cancer

Brief Summary

This is a single center, blinded (the mpMRI will be read by expert personnel not aware of the patient's diagnosis ), retrospective study. A total of 200 patients with suspicious prostate cancer (PCa) who underwent, between January 2014 and January 2022, mpMRI of the prostate and subsequent prostate biopsy will identified. All mpMRI images will be retrospectively collected and evaluated using the Quantib Prostate software. In particular, 200 mpMRI with endorectal coil will be read by the expert radiologist and by the Quantib prostate (Quantib B.V. Rotterdam, The Netherlands) software, thus evaluating the predictive characteristics of Quantib Prostate for the identification of suspicious lesions. The sensitivity, specificity, negative predictive value, positive predictive value and accuracy of Quantib Prostate vs. radiologist in detecting csPCa will be evaluated using the biopsy report as reference standard.
