Transition-zone PSA-density calculated from MRI deep learning prostate zonal segmentation model for prediction of clinically significant prostate cancer. Abdom Radiol (NY) 2024; 49:3722-3734. [PMID: 38896250 DOI: 10.1007/s00261-024-04301-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/15/2024] [Revised: 03/19/2024] [Accepted: 03/20/2024] [Indexed: 06/21/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE To develop a deep learning (DL) zonal segmentation model of prostate MR from T2-weighted images and evaluate TZ-PSAD for prediction of the presence of csPCa (Gleason score of 7 or higher) compared to PSAD. METHODS 1020 patients with a prostate MRI were randomly selected to develop a DL zonal segmentation model. Test dataset included 20 cases in which 2 radiologists manually segmented both the peripheral zone (PZ) and TZ. Pair-wise Dice index was calculated for each zone. For the prediction of csPCa using PSAD and TZ-PSAD, we used 3461 consecutive MRI exams performed in patients without a history of prostate cancer, with pathological confirmation and available PSA values, but not used in the development of the segmentation model as internal test set and 1460 MRI exams from PI-CAI challenge as external test set. PSAD and TZ-PSAD were calculated from the segmentation model output. The area under the receiver operating curve (AUC) was compared between PSAD and TZ-PSAD using univariate and multivariate analysis (adjusts age) with the DeLong test. RESULTS Dice scores of the model against two radiologists were 0.87/0.87 and 0.74/0.72 for TZ and PZ, while those between the two radiologists were 0.88 for TZ and 0.75 for PZ. For the prediction of csPCa, the AUCs of TZPSAD were significantly higher than those of PSAD in both internal test set (univariate analysis, 0.75 vs. 0.73, p < 0.001; multivariate analysis, 0.80 vs. 0.78, p < 0.001) and external test set (univariate analysis, 0.76 vs. 0.74, p < 0.001; multivariate analysis, 0.77 vs. 0.75, p < 0.001 in external test set). CONCLUSION DL model-derived zonal segmentation facilitates the practical measurement of TZ-PSAD and shows it to be a slightly better predictor of csPCa compared to the conventional PSAD. Use of TZ-PSAD may increase the sensitivity of detecting csPCa by 2-5% for a commonly used specificity level.

Curr Probl Diagn Radiol 2024; 53:606-613. [PMID: 38658286 DOI: 10.1067/j.cpradiol.2024.04.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/12/2024] [Revised: 03/14/2024] [Accepted: 04/18/2024] [Indexed: 04/26/2024]
Abstract
MRI has firmly established itself as a mainstay for the detection, staging and surveillance of prostate cancer. Despite its success, prostate MRI continues to suffer from poor inter-reader variability and a low positive predictive value. The recent emergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to potentially improve diagnostic performance shows great potential. Understanding and interpreting the AI landscape as well as ever-increasing research literature, however, is difficult. This is in part due to widely varying study design and reporting techniques. This paper aims to address this need by first outlining the different types of AI used for the detection and diagnosis of prostate cancer, next deciphering how data collection methods, statistical analysis metrics (such as ROC and FROC analysis) and end points/outcomes (lesion detection vs. case diagnosis) affect the performance and limit the ability to compare between studies. Finally, this work explores the need for appropriately enriched investigational datasets and proper ground truth, and provides guidance on how to best conduct AI prostate MRI studies. Published in parallel, a clinical study applying this suggested study design was applied to review and report a multiple-reader multiple-case clinical study of 150 bi-parametric prostate MRI studies across nine readers, measuring physician performance both with and without the use of a recently FDA cleared Artificial Intelligence software.1.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim was to analyze the current state of deep learning (DL)-based prostate cancer (PCa) diagnosis with a focus on magnetic resonance (MR) prostate reconstruction; PCa detection/stratification/reconstruction; positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT); androgen deprivation therapy (ADT); prostate biopsy; associated challenges and their clinical implications. METHODS A search of the PubMed database was conducted based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria for the use of DL methods within the abovementioned areas. RESULTS A total of 784 articles were found, of which, 64 were included. Reconstruction of the prostate, the detection and stratification of prostate cancer, the reconstruction of prostate cancer, and diagnosis on PET/CT, ADT, and biopsy were analyzed in 21, 22, 6, 7, 2, and 6 studies, respectively. Among studies describing DL use for MR-based purposes, datasets with magnetic field power of 3 T, 1.5 T, and 3/1.5 T were used in 18/19/5, 0/1/0, and 3/2/1 studies, respectively, of 6/7 studies analyzing DL for PET/CT diagnosis which used data from a single institution. Among the radiotracers, [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11, [18F]DCFPyl, and [18F]PSMA-1007 were used in 5, 1, and 1 study, respectively. Only two studies that analyzed DL in the context of DT met the inclusion criteria. Both were performed with a single-institution dataset with only manual labeling of training data. Three studies, each analyzing DL for prostate biopsy, were performed with single- and multi-institutional datasets. TeUS, TRUS, and MRI were used as input modalities in two, three, and one study, respectively. CONCLUSION DL models in prostate cancer diagnosis show promise but are not yet ready for clinical use due to variability in methods, labels, and evaluation criteria. Conducting additional research while acknowledging all the limitations outlined is crucial for reinforcing the utility and effectiveness of DL-based models in clinical settings.

Abstract
The enlargement of the prostate gland in the reproductive system of males is considered a form of prostate cancer (PrC). The survival rate is considerably improved with earlier diagnosis of cancer; thus, timely intervention should be administered. In this study, a new automatic approach combining several deep learning (DL) techniques was introduced to detect PrC from MRI and ultrasound (US) images. Furthermore, the presented method describes why a certain decision was made given the input MRI or US images. Many pretrained custom-developed layers were added to the pretrained model and employed in the dataset. The study presents an Equilibrium Optimization Algorithm with Deep Learning-based Prostate Cancer Detection and Classification (EOADL-PCDC) technique on MRIs. The main goal of the EOADL-PCDC method lies in the detection and classification of PrC. To achieve this, the EOADL-PCDC technique applies image preprocessing to improve the image quality. In addition, the EOADL-PCDC technique follows the CapsNet (capsule network) model for the feature extraction model. The EOA is based on hyperparameter tuning used to increase the efficiency of CapsNet. The EOADL-PCDC algorithm makes use of the stacked bidirectional long short-term memory (SBiLSTM) model for prostate cancer classification. A comprehensive set of simulations of the EOADL-PCDC algorithm was tested on the benchmark MRI dataset. The experimental outcome revealed the superior performance of the EOADL-PCDC approach over existing methods in terms of different metrics.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the learning curve of transperineal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)/ultrasound (US) fusion biopsy in a team composed of a single surgeon, a single radiologist, and a single pathologist. We prospectively enrolled 206 patients undergoing MRI/US fusion prostate biopsy and divided them into four cohorts by the year of biopsy. We analyzed temporal changes in clinically significant prostate cancer (csPC) detection rate, percentage of positive cores on biopsy, and Gleason upgrading rate after radical prostatectomy. The csPC detection rate by MRI/US fusion targeted biopsy (TB) increased significantly (from 35.3% to 60.0%, p = 0.01). With increased experience, the csPC detection rates for small (≤1 cm) and anterior target lesions gradually increased (from 41.2% to 51.6%, p = 0.5; from 54.5% to 88.2%, p = 0.8, respectively). The percentage of positive cores on TB increased significantly (from 18.4% to 44.2%, p = 0.001). The Gleason upgrading rate gradually decreased (from 22.2% to 11.1%, p = 0.4). In conclusion, with accumulated experience and teamwork, the csPC detection rate by TB significantly increased. Multidisciplinary team meetings and a free-hand biopsy technique were the key factors for overcoming the learning curve.

Abstract
Objective To develop an accurate and automatic segmentation model based on convolution neural network to segment the prostate and its lesion regions. Methods Of all 180 subjects, 122 healthy individuals and 58 patients with prostate cancer were included. For each subject, all slices of the prostate were comprised in the DWIs. A novel DCNN is proposed to automatically segment the prostate and its lesion regions. This model is inspired by the U-Net model with the encoding-decoding path as the backbone, importing dense block, attention mechanism techniques, and group norm-Atrous Spatial Pyramidal Pooling. Data augmentation was used to avoid overfitting in training. In the experimental phase, the data set was randomly divided into a training (70%), testing set (30%). four-fold cross-validation methods were used to obtain results for each metric. Results The proposed model achieved in terms of Iou, Dice score, accuracy, sensitivity, 95% Hausdorff Distance, 86.82%,93.90%, 94.11%, 93.8%,7.84 for the prostate, 79.2%, 89.51%, 88.43%,89.31%,8.39 for lesion region in segmentation. Compared to the state-of-the-art models, FCN, U-Net, U-Net++, and ResU-Net, the segmentation model achieved more promising results. Conclusion The proposed model yielded excellent performance in accurate and automatic segmentation of the prostate and lesion regions, revealing that the novel deep convolutional neural network could be used in clinical disease treatment and diagnosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Accurate zonal segmentation of prostate boundaries on MRI is a critical prerequisite for automated prostate cancer detection based on PI-RADS. Many articles have been published describing deep learning methods offering great promise for fast and accurate segmentation of prostate zonal anatomy. The objective of this review was to provide a detailed analysis and comparison of applicability and efficiency of the published methods for automatic segmentation of prostate zonal anatomy by systematically reviewing the current literature. METHODS A Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) was conducted until June 30, 2021, using PubMed, ScienceDirect, Web of Science and EMBase databases. Risk of bias and applicability based on Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies 2 (QUADAS-2) criteria adjusted with Checklist for Artificial Intelligence in Medical Imaging (CLAIM) were assessed. RESULTS A total of 458 articles were identified, and 33 were included and reviewed. Only 2 articles had a low risk of bias for all four QUADAS-2 domains. In the remaining, insufficient details about database constitution and segmentation protocol provided sources of bias (inclusion criteria, MRI acquisition, ground truth). Eighteen different types of terminology for prostate zone segmentation were found, while 4 anatomic zones are described on MRI. Only 2 authors used a blinded reading, and 4 assessed inter-observer variability. CONCLUSIONS Our review identified numerous methodological flaws and underlined biases precluding us from performing quantitative analysis for this review. This implies low robustness and low applicability in clinical practice of the evaluated methods. Actually, there is not yet consensus on quality criteria for database constitution and zonal segmentation methodology.

Abstract
This review aims to present the applications of deep learning (DL) in prostate cancer diagnosis and treatment. Computer vision is becoming an increasingly large part of our daily lives due to advancements in technology. These advancements in computational power have allowed more extensive and more complex DL models to be trained on large datasets. Urologists have found these technologies help them in their work, and many such models have been developed to aid in the identification, treatment and surgical practices in prostate cancer. This review will present a systematic outline and summary of these deep learning models and technologies used for prostate cancer management. A literature search was carried out for English language articles over the last two decades from 2000–2021, and present in Scopus, MEDLINE, Clinicaltrials.gov, Science Direct, Web of Science and Google Scholar. A total of 224 articles were identified on the initial search. After screening, 64 articles were identified as related to applications in urology, from which 24 articles were identified to be solely related to the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer. The constant improvement in DL models should drive more research focusing on deep learning applications. The focus should be on improving models to the stage where they are ready to be implemented in clinical practice. Future research should prioritize developing models that can train on encrypted images, allowing increased data sharing and accessibility.

Abstract
Simple Summary Uterine cervical cancer (CC) is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths in women worldwide. Pelvic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) allows the assessment of local tumor extent and guides the choice of primary treatment. MRI tumor segmentation enables whole-volume radiomic tumor profiling, which is potentially useful for prognostication and individualization of therapy in CC. Manual tumor segmentation is, however, labor intensive and thus not part of routine clinical workflow. In the current work, we trained a deep learning (DL) algorithm to automatically segment the primary tumor in CC patients. Although the achieved segmentation performance of the trained DL algorithm is slightly lower than that for human experts, it is still relatively good. This study suggests that automated MRI primary tumor segmentations by DL algorithms without any human interaction is possible in patients with CC. Abstract Uterine cervical cancer (CC) is the most common gynecologic malignancy worldwide. Whole-volume radiomic profiling from pelvic MRI may yield prognostic markers for tailoring treatment in CC. However, radiomic profiling relies on manual tumor segmentation which is unfeasible in the clinic. We present a fully automatic method for the 3D segmentation of primary CC lesions using state-of-the-art deep learning (DL) techniques. In 131 CC patients, the primary tumor was manually segmented on T2-weighted MRI by two radiologists (R1, R2). Patients were separated into a train/validation (n = 105) and a test- (n = 26) cohort. The segmentation performance of the DL algorithm compared with R1/R2 was assessed with Dice coefficients (DSCs) and Hausdorff distances (HDs) in the test cohort. The trained DL network retrieved whole-volume tumor segmentations yielding median DSCs of 0.60 and 0.58 for DL compared with R1 (DL-R1) and R2 (DL-R2), respectively, whereas DSC for R1-R2 was 0.78. Agreement for primary tumor volumes was excellent between raters (R1-R2: intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) = 0.93), but lower for the DL algorithm and the raters (DL-R1: ICC = 0.43; DL-R2: ICC = 0.44). The developed DL algorithm enables the automated estimation of tumor size and primary CC tumor segmentation. However, segmentation agreement between raters is better than that between DL algorithm and raters.
