Investigation of Impact of AI on Prostate Cancer Workflow

Description

This study will enroll participants who are undergoing an MRI before a prostate biopsy due to suspected prostate cancer. The purpose of this study is to see if the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) helps detect lesions on an MRI better than a radiologist not using AI. The AI Rad Companion (AIRC) Prostate MRI application is a software that uses measurements of the prostate and will be utilized in this study to help detect potential cancerous lesions. The AI software will assign the lesions a PI-RADS score, which is a way to measure the chance of the lesion being cancer. There are two parts to this study. The first part involves comparing the interpretation of prostate MRI images by a radiologist alone, a radiologist aided by AI, and AI alone. A systematic biopsy will be completed per standard of care. The radiologist may opt to include up to 2 additional AI-identified targets to biopsy in addition to those biopsied for standard of care. The second part of the study involves utilizing the MRI images from the first part of the study in addition to retrospective prostate MRI images. These de-identified images, along with Prostate Image Quality (PI-QUAL) scores, clinical data, and biopsy results will be sent to Siemens in order to aid in the development of methods to identify good or bad image quality in prostate MRI images.
