AI in Prostate MRI Analysis: A Short, Subjective Review of Potential, Status, Urgent Challenges, and Future Directions

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) in prostate MRI analysis shows great promise and impressive performance. A large number of studies present the usefulness of AI models in tasks such as prostate segmentation, lesion detection, and the classification and stratification of a cancer’s aggressiveness. This article presents a subjective critical review of AI in prostate MRI analysis. It discusses both the technology’s current state and its most recent advances, as well as its challenges. The article then presents opportunities in the context of ongoing research, which possesses the potential to reduce bias and to be applied in clinical settings.
