Abstract

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate short-term test-retest repeatability of a deep learning architecture (U-Net) in slice- and lesion-level detection and segmentation of clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa: Gleason grade group > 1) using diffusion-weighted imaging fitted with monoexponential function, ADC.
