Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

It is a prospective paired-cohort study for diagnostic test evaluation. The study aim to determine the accuracy of AI review and investigate whether AI review could detect MRI visible significant cancer as effective as radiologist review. MRI image of about 368 men recommended for biopsy will be reviewed by an AI model and an experienced radiologist, respectively. AI review (index) and radiologist review (standard) will be blinded to each other, while biopsy urologists will be well-informed of the findings of both AI review and radiologist review and make personalized biopsy plan by combining both findings. The pathological results of MRI-ultrasound fusion biopsy (reference) will serve as the gold standard to assess the diagnostic accuracy.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

ProstateAI is a prospective paired-cohort study for diagnostic test evaluation. ProstateAI will determine the accuracy of AI review and investigate whether AI review could detect MRI visible significant cancer as effective as radiologist review. MRI image of about 368 men recommended for biopsy will be reviewed by an AI model and an experienced radiologist, respectively. AI review (index) and radiologist review (standard) will be blinded to each other, while biopsy urologists will be well-informed of the findings of both AI review and radiologist review and make personalized biopsy plan by combining both findings.

AI review (index)

self-paired design, AI review (index)

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

AI modal

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

The MRI image will be reviewed by radiologist and AI model(s) respectively. The urologist will combine the results of the two approaches to optimize the biopsy strategy which is expected to result in more accurate diagnosis.

Radiologist review (Standard)

self-paired design, radiologist review (standard)

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Standard review

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

The MRI image will be reviewed by radiologist.
