This narrative review provides an overview of the current state-of-the-art artificial intelligence (AI) applications for prostate MRI by focusing on open datasets, commercially and publically available AI systems, and challenges. The authors state that large amounts of research are still required in order to successfully utilize AI in the whole prostate pathway. Due to the rapidly growing field, continuous up-to-date reviews of the field are needed.
Key points
- Artificial intelligence shows promise for being applied to prostate cancer magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
- Open datasets for prostate MRI are limited.
- Commercial solutions are available but lack adequate validation.
- Grand challenges could provide the means for bias-free validation.
