Currently, many studies exploit deep learning and mp-MRI data to enhance the diagnostic accuracy of prostate cancer characterisation. In this study, we focus on VERDICT DW-MRI data and compare its diagnostic performance to those of the ADC map and the raw DW-MRI from the mp-MRI. Specifically, we compare the performance obtained by a fully convolutional neural network (CNN) when training and test is performed on the raw VERDICT DW-MRI, the ADC maps and the DW-MRI data from the mp-MRI acquisition. The results indicate that the CNN performs better when it is trained and tested on VERDICT DW-MRI.
