Assessment of ADC Values and Radiomics Characteristics With a MRI of the Prostate to Identify Tumor Lesions
Trial Parameters
Brief Summary
The goal of this observational study is to assess the chance to predict prostate cancer with the analysis of specific values found in images obtained from RMmp (multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging) of patients who went through the procedure at IRCCS Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria hospital in the city of Bologna from September 2015 to March 2021. The main question it aims to answer is: \- does the analysis of ADC values and radiomics values found in the RMmp images help with the detection of prostate cancer?
