Abstract

BACKGROUND: Distinguishing between benign and malignant testicular lesions on clinical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is crucial for guiding treatment planning. However, conventional MRI-based radiomics to identify testicular cancer requires expert machine learning knowledge. This study aims to investigate the potential of utilizing automatic machine learning (AutoML) based on MRI to diagnose testicular lesions without the need for expert algorithm optimization.
