SPIE-AAPM-NCI PROSTATEx Challenges-The PROSTATEx Challenge (" SPIE-AAPM-NCI Prostate MR Classification Challenge”) focused on
quantitative image analysis methods for the diagnostic classification of clinically significant prostate cancers and was held
in conjunction with the 2017 SPIE Medical Imaging Symposium. PROSTATEx ran from November 21, 2016 to January 15, 2017, though
a "live" version has also been established at https://prostatex.grand-challenge.org which serves as an ongoing way for
researchers to benchmark their performance for this task. The PROSTATEx-2 Challenge (" SPIE-AAPM-NCI Prostate MR Gleason Grade
Group Challenge" ) was focused on the development of quantitative multi-parametric MRI biomarkers for the determination of Gleason
Grade Group in prostate cancer.
Steps:
- Convert DICOM images to Nrrd/Nifti format using the Slicer Application
- Add ktrans data to the Training csv file
- Data Exploration & Visualization
- Preprocessing the data and converting to numpy arrays
- Model & Results
Note: Eventhough T2 tra, T2 sag, ADC, Bval and ktrans images were used till Step 2, only T2tra, ADC and Bval were used in the model(Reference:2)
