An artificial intelligence model combining MRI and ultrasound images (MRUSuNet) for prostate cancer detection outperforms radiologist MRI interpretation.

A combined MRI-ultrasound AI model detects clinically significant prostate cancer more reliably than radiologists alone reviewing MRI.

This diagnostic ai model development and validation study examined an artificial intelligence model combining mri and ultrasound images (mrusunet) for prostate cancer detection outperforms radiologist mri interpretation. The abstract reports that our findings demonstrate the potential of combining MRI and TRUS in a multimodal artificial intelligence (AI) model to improve localisation of clinically significant prostate cancer on TRUS images relative to single-modality models.
