OBJECTIVES: Deep learning (DL) studies for the detection of clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa) on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) often overlook potentially relevant clinical parameters such as prostate-specific antigen, prostate volume, and age. This study explored the integration of clinical parameters and MRI-based DL to enhance diagnostic accuracy for csPCa on MRI.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed 932 biparametric prostate MRI examinations performed for suspected csPCa (ISUP ≥2) at 2 institutions. Each MRI scan was automatically analyzed by a previously developed DL model to detect and segment csPCa lesions. Three sets of features were extracted: DL lesion suspicion levels, clinical parameters (prostate-specific antigen, prostate volume, age), and MRI-based lesion volumes for all DL-detected lesions. Six multimodal artificial intelligence (AI) classifiers were trained for each combination of feature sets, employing both early (feature-level) and late (decision-level) information fusion methods. The diagnostic performance of each model was tested internally on 20% of center 1 data and externally on center 2 data (n = 529). Receiver operating characteristic comparisons determined the optimal feature combination and information fusion method and assessed the benefit of multimodal versus unimodal analysis. The optimal model performance was compared with a radiologist using PI-RADS.
RESULTS: Internally, the multimodal AI integrating DL suspicion levels with clinical features via early fusion achieved the highest performance. Externally, it surpassed baselines using clinical parameters (0.77 vs 0.67 area under the curve [AUC], P < 0.001) and DL suspicion levels alone (AUC: 0.77 vs 0.70, P = 0.006). Early fusion outperformed late fusion in external data (0.77 vs 0.73 AUC, P = 0.005). No significant performance gaps were observed between multimodal AI and radiologist assessments (internal: 0.87 vs 0.88 AUC; external: 0.77 vs 0.75 AUC, both P > 0.05).
CONCLUSIONS: Multimodal AI (combining DL suspicion levels and clinical parameters) outperforms clinical and MRI-only AI for csPCa detection. Early information fusion enhanced AI robustness in our multicenter setting. Incorporating lesion volumes did not enhance diagnostic efficacy.
