Brief summary
A combination of correct interpretation of imaging and biopsy has given promising results in terms of detecting clinically significant cancer at radical prostatectomy.
Detailed description
Quantitative approaches to medical image analysis have been developed in recent years with the aim to overcome the limitation of qualitative image interpretation, and provide biomarkers for disease characterization. In particular, the new paradigm, radiomics, is emerging as the high-throughput extraction of quantitative features from imaging which can aid in characterizing phenotype as in vivo expression of tumoral genotype. The goal of radiomics is to extract accurate and reliable quantitative biomarkers which enhance diagnostic confidence in oncology. A combination of correct interpretation of imaging and biopsy has given promising results in terms of detecting clinically significant cancer at radical prostatectomy.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Number of surrogate bioimaging markers of histological characteristics in MR images | 0-2 years | Segment tumor volumes on the ADC map and extract different imaging features |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Radiomic features from MRI | 0-2 years | Evaluate if radiomic features on primitive prostate lesions can describe lymph node involvement. |
| Extract radiomic features | 0-2 years | Evaluate if radiomic features fro MRIon primitive prostate lesions can describe disease extension. |
