When a patient is told, “You have prostate cancer,” it’s not a simple one-size-fits-all diagnosis. The doctor will then give the patient an idea of how severe his cancer is. If his prostate cancer (PCa) is still localized (that is, contained within the gland), the doctor will specify if it is low, intermediate, or high keep reading

The interpretation of medical images is “a task that lies at the heart of the radiologist’s work.”[i] In fact, the human element—a radiologist’s eyes and brain—is just as important as what a high resolution, 3- dimensional image depicts. Imaging types include x-ray, MRI, CT scan, ultrasound and PET scan, but no matter how advanced the keep reading

We’ve posted numerous blogs on the contributions of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to various aspects of MRI detection and diagnosis of prostate cancer (PCa). We’ve reported AI’s ability to predict metastasis, assign Gleason scores and PI-RADS scores, pinpoint tumor margins for focal therapy, rule out need for biopsy, predict PCa metastasis, and more—showing the accuracy and keep reading

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is making waves in prostate cancer detection. A new study shows that AI can detect clinically significant prostate cancer on MRI scans with nearly the same accuracy as experienced radiologists. Learn how this breakthrough is enhancing diagnostic precision and improving patient outcomes. keep reading

No radiologist was born knowing how to interpret MRI scans of the prostate gland. They must be trained to interpret images, and the rate at which they improve is called their learning curve. According to Rosencrantz et al. (2017), At a basic level, by seeing many cases, radiologists experience innate self-directed visual learning, even without keep reading

Artificial Intelligence is transforming prostate MRI interpretation, making it faster and more precise. See how this breakthrough technology is elevating prostate health diagnostics. keep reading

Let’s start with the hypothetical case of Robert. He considers himself lucky in life because good things have come his way. He has a happy marriage, nice kids, a decent job, and he’s healthy. He follows the principles of the Mediterranean diet, doesn’t smoke, and has an occasional glass of wine. He does cardio workouts keep reading

No one is perfect, including radiologists who read and interpret multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) prostate scans. However, some are better than others. Studies show that experienced readers are generally more accurate than less experienced readers. In fact, based on the number of MRIs reviewed over time as well as continuing education (conferences, training workshops, classes, etc.), keep reading

What’s the secret to the perfect treatment plan for prostate cancer (PCa)? It’s YOU, it’s YOUR tumor and YOUR anatomy. No two patients have identical disease in identical bodies. Thus, the perfect treatment plan is the one tailor-made for YOUR PCa. Therefore, it’s essential that your doctor has as much accurate information as possible about keep reading

These days it seems like the pace of living is continually ramping up. As one blogger expresses, “We live in a culture of hurry, which assumes that doing something more quickly is always better than doing it more slowly. At the root of that is a veneration of productivity: the more quickly you can do keep reading
