Textural Features of MR Images Correlate with an Increased Risk of Clinically Significant Cancer in Patients with High PSA Levels.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Prostate cancer, which is associated with gland biology and also with environmental risks, is a serious clinical problem in the male population worldwide. Important progress has been made in the diagnostic and clinical setups designed for the detection of prostate cancer, with a multiparametric magnetic resonance diagnostic process based on the PIRADS protocol playing a key role. This method relies on image evaluation by an imaging specialist. The medical community has expressed its desire for image analysis techniques that can detect important image features that may indicate cancer risk.

Methods

Anonymized scans of 41 patients with laboratory diagnosed PSA levels who were routinely scanned for prostate cancer were used. The peripheral and central zones of the pr
