A bi-directional Convolutional Long Short Term Memory (CLSTM) Network was previously shown capable of differentiating prostate cancer and benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) based DCE-MRI that acquired 40 time frame images. The purpose of this work was to investigate the diagnostic value of peritumoral tissues. Several different methods were used to expand peritumoral tissues surrounding the lesion, and they were used as the input to the diagnostic network. A total of 135 cases were analyzed, including 73 prostate cancer and 62 BPH. Based on 4-fold cross-validation, the region growing based ROI had the best performance, with a mean AUC of 0.89.
