Development of Convolutional Neural Networks to identify bone metastasis for prostate cancer patients in bone scintigraphy

ConclusionsThe prediction results reveal the efficacy of the proposed CNN-based approach and its ability for an easier and more precise interpretation of whole-body images in bone metastasis diagnosis for prostate cancer patients in nuclear medicine. This leads to marked effects on the diagnostic accuracy and decision-making regarding the treatment to be applied.
