Clinical Application of Artificial Intelligence in Positron Emission Tomography: Imaging of Prostate Cancer

PET Clin. 2022 Jan;17(1):137-143. doi: 10.1016/j.cpet.2021.09.002.

Abstract

PET imaging with targeted novel tracers has been commonly used in the clinical management of prostate cancer. The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in PET imaging is a relatively new approach and in this review article, we will review the current trends and categorize the currently available research into the quantification of tumor burden within the organ, evaluation of metastatic disease, and translational/supplemental research which aims to improve other AI research efforts.

Keywords: Artificial intelligence; PET; Prostate cancer.
