Abstract

BACKGROUND: Prostate cancer is currently the second most prevalent cancer among men. Accurate diagnosis of prostate cancer can provide effective treatment for patients and greatly reduce mortality. The current medical imaging tools for screening prostate cancer are mainly MRI, CT and ultrasound. In the past 20 years, these medical imaging methods have made great progress with machine learning, especially the rise of deep learning has led to a wider application of artificial intelligence in the use of image-assisted diagnosis of prostate cancer.
