AI takes on radiologists in prostate cancer detection showdown
NCT ID NCT07162194
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 02, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study compares a new artificial intelligence (AI) system to radiologists for reading prostate MRI scans to detect cancer. About 130 men who are already scheduled for a prostate biopsy will have their MRI read by both the AI and a radiologist. The goal is to see if the AI can find aggressive prostate cancer just as well as the experts.
