Habitat Risk Score Depicts Differential Lesion Growth in Longitudinal MRIs of Patients on Active Surveillance
Impact: Habitat
Risk Score (HRS) identifies differential lesion growth on longitudinal mpMRI,
correlating strongly with digital pathology from prostatectomy. HRS provides a
quantitative imaging biomarker for early detection of progression, improving
patient selection and monitoring during active surveillance for prostate
cancer.

Integration of Habitat Risk Score in Novel Clinical Trial for Characterization of Ultra-Early Response for Prostate Cancer
Impact: HRS was successfully integrated into the radiotherapy
workflow of the UAdapt trial to enable spatially precise tumor targeting,
validate imaging–pathology associations, and provide ultra-early quantitative
indicators of treatment response, informing adaptive therapeutic decisions and
advancing personalized prostate cancer management.

AI accelerated DWI of the Prostate: Preserved Diagnostic Value and ADC Metrics in a Prospective Non-inferiority Study
Impact: AI-accelerated
reduced-FOV prostate DWI preserved diagnostic confidence, image quality and ADC
metrics while shortening acquisition time by ~23%. These findings enable faster
mpMRI, improved patient comfort and throughput, and motivate multicenter
validation and extension to other pelvic cancer imaging.

Into Focus: Super-Resolution of Prostate ADC Maps with Unregistered T2W Images
Impact: Enhancing resolution of prostate ADC maps from low-field scanners could enable reliable MR-based diagnoses in
resource-limited settings, improving global prostate cancer detection. Also, boosting
performance on high-field scanners could reduce false negative diagnoses from
mpMRI-invisible cancer, enhancing patient outcomes.
