Radiological-pathological correlation is being used to validate prostate cancer imaging technology. This study combines these two modalities with machine learning to generate predictive maps of histological features (i.e. new contrasts) based on segmented histology. We find that epithelium density maps highlight regions pathologically confirmed as Gleason grade ≥3. This allowed the prediction of prostate cancer presence based solely on non-invasive imaging in 23 of 26 cases.
