AI Outperforms Radiologists in Detecting Prostate Cancer on MRI Scans
Inside Precision Medicine June 14, 2024
An international study led by the Radboud University Medical Center has demonstrated that artificial intelligence (AI) can detect prostate cancer on MRI scans more effectively than radiologists, while also reducing false positives by half.
The findings, published in The Lancet Oncology, mark a significant advancement in the use of AI in medical diagnostics, particularly for prostate cancer.
The increasing routine use of MRI for men at higher risk of prostate cancer has placed a substantial burden on radiologists, who require sufficient expertise to accurately diagnose the disease. The shortage of experienced radiologists has further compounded this challenge. AI offers a promising solution to these issues by assisting in the diagnostic process.
