This $256,000 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Engineering (47.041) program will support the development of an artificial intelligence-based system for analyzing multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans to detect prostate lesions. The awardee, Taurus Diagnostics, Inc., will create a novel prostate cancer diagnostic platform leveraging artificial intelligence image analysis for high sensitivity and specificity. Key objectives include developing methods to measure MRI quality, employing a generative adversarial network framework to enhance image quality, and prospectively evaluating the overall performance of the artificial intelligence algorithm. If successful, this platform could automate and standardize MRI analysis to reduce unnecessary biopsies and treatment for low-risk cancers. It may also enable accurate diagnosis at non-expert centers without requiring extensive testing, high-end MRI equipment, or invasive procedures.
