Abstract

BACKGROUND: We recently reported the importance of deep learning (DL) of pelvic magnetic resonance imaging in predicting the degree of urinary incontinence (UI) following robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). However, our results were limited because the prediction accuracy was approximately 70%.
