The team trained the system by having it analyse MRI scans of 417 men with prostate cancer. Scans were fed into the system so that it could learn to assess and classify tumours in a consistent way and have it compare the results to the actual pathology specimen.
Researchers compared the AI system's results with readings by radiologists who had more than 10 years of experience. The research suggests that an AI system could save time and potentially provide diagnostic guidance to less-experienced radiologists.
