Deep Learning Regression for Prostate Cancer Detection and Grading in Bi-Parametric MRI

One of the most common types of cancer in men is prostate cancer (PCa). Biopsies guided by biparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can aid PCa diagnosis. Previous works have mostly focused on either detection or classification of PCa from MRI. In this work, however, we present a neural network that simultaneously detects and grades cancer tissue in an end-to-end fashion. This is more clinically relevant than the classification goal of the...
