Description

This document represents the preregistration of the PI-CAI challenge study design, in compliance with MICCAI-BIAS reporting guidelines.

The PI-CAI challenge is an all-new grand challenge that aims to validate the diagnostic performance of artificial intelligence and radiologists at clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa) detection/diagnosis in MRI, with histopathology and follow-up (≥ 3 years) as the reference standard, in a retrospective setting. The study hypothesizes that state-of-the-art AI algorithms, trained using thousands of patient exams, are non-inferior to radiologists reading bpMRI.

Key aspects of the PI-CAI study design have been established in conjunction with an international scientific advisory board of 16 experts in prostate AI, radiology and urology —to unify and standardize present-day guidelines, and to ensure meaningful validation of prostate AI towards clinical translation (Reinke et al., 2021).
