AI System Beats Radiologists in Detecting Clinically Significant Prostate Cancer
MedPage Today June 13, 2024
— AI detected 6.8% more clinically significant cancers, 20% fewer indolent cancers
An artificial intelligence (AI) system was better at detecting clinically significant prostate cancer on MRI compared with radiologists, a noninferiority, confirmatory study showed.
In a subset of 400 testing cases in which the AI system was compared with the radiologists participating in a reader study, the AI had an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) of 0.91 (95% CI 0.87-0.94) compared with 0.86 (95% CI 0.83-0.89) for the pool of 62 radiologists using the Prostate Imaging-Reporting and Data System version 2.1 (PI-RADS 2.1), reported Anindo Saha, MSc, of Radboud University Medical Center in Nijmegen, the Netherlands, and colleagues.
Therefore, the AI system passed the prespecified criteria...
