Our study shows the combined power of the
multiparametric MRI parameters in the detection of
prostate cancer and their association with grade. These
results are highly unique and relevant as 1) Region of
interest (ROI) definitions were dictated by registered
pathology regions and not by manual interpretations of
pathologically identified disease and 2) pixel-wise
analysis was performed as opposed to the use of summary
statistics from within the ROIs. Performing a pixel-wise
analysis allows the apparent non-coincidence of some of
the quantitative MR parameters to be investigated. We
propose this approach is a more appropriate way to apply
predictive models moving forward.
