Background: To evaluate the clinical utility of an Artificial Intelligence (AI) radiology solution, Quantib Prostate, for prostate cancer (PCa) lesions detection on multiparametric Magnetic Resonance Images (mpMRI). Methods: Prostate mpMRI exams of 108 patients were retrospectively studied. The diagnostic performance of an expert radiologist (>8 years of experience) and of an inexperienced radiologist aided by Quantib software were compared. Three groups of patients were assessed: patients with positive mpMRI, positive target biopsy, and/or at least one positive random biopsy (group A, 73 patients); patients with positive mpMRI and a negative biopsy (group B, 14 patients), and patients with negative mpMRI who did not undergo biopsy (group-C, 21 patients). Results: In group A, the AI-assisted radiologist found new lesions with positive biopsy correlation, increasing the diagnostic PCa performance when compared with the expert radiologist, reaching an SE of 92.3% and a PPV of 90.1% (vs. 71.7% and 84.4%). In group A, the expert radiologist found 96 lesions on 73 mpMRI exams (17.7% PIRADS3, 56.3% PIRADS4, and 26% PIRADS5). The AI-assisted radiologist found 121 lesions (0.8% PIRADS3, 53.7% PIRADS4, and 45.5% PIRADS5). At biopsy, 33.9% of the lesions were ISUP1, 31.4% were ISUP2, 22% were ISUP3, 10.2% were ISUP4, and 2.5% were ISUP5. In group B, where biopsies were negative, the AI-assisted radiologist excluded three lesions but confirmed all the others. In group-C, the AI-assisted radiologist found 37 new lesions, most of them PIRADS 3, with 32.4% localized in the peripherical zone and 67.6% in the transition zone. Conclusions: Quantib software is a very sensitive tool to use specifically in high-risk patients (high PIRADS and high Gleason score).
背景:评估人工智能(AI)放射学解决方案 Quantib Prostate 在多参数磁共振成像(mpMRI)上检测前列腺癌(PCa)病变的临床效用。
方法:回顾性研究了 108 例患者的前列腺 mpMRI 检查。比较了一位有 8 年以上经验的专家放射科医生和一位经验不足的放射科医生使用 Quantib 软件的诊断性能。评估了三组患者:mpMRI 阳性、靶向活检阳性和/或至少一次随机活检阳性(A 组,73 例);mpMRI 阳性但活检阴性(B 组,14 例),以及 mpMRI 阴性且未行活检(C 组,21 例)。
结果:在 A 组中,AI 辅助放射科医生发现了与阳性活检相关的新病变,提高了诊断 PCa 的性能,SE 达到 92.3%,PPV 达到 90.1%(相比之下,专家放射科医生为 71.7%和 84.4%)。在 A 组中,专家放射科医生在 73 份 mpMRI 检查中发现了 96 个病变(17.7% PIRADS3,56.3% PIRADS4,和 26% PIRADS5)。AI 辅助放射科医生发现了 121 个病变(0.8% PIRADS3,53.7% PIRADS4,和 45.5% PIRADS5)。在活检中,33.9%的病变为 ISUP1,31.4%为 ISUP2,22%为 ISUP3,10.2%为 ISUP4,和 2.5%为 ISUP5。在 B 组中,活检结果为阴性,AI 辅助放射科医生排除了三个病变,但确认了其余所有病变。在 C 组中,AI 辅助放射科医生发现了 37 个新病变,其中大多数为 PIRADS3,32.4%位于外周区,67.6%位于移行区。
结论:Quantib 软件是一种非常敏感的工具,特别适用于高危患者(高 PIRADS 和高 Gleason 评分)。
