The PROSTATEx dataset comprises prostate MRI exams with PI-RADS score = 2+ lesions. These are classified as clinically significant or not. Only PI-RADS score = 3+ underwent biopsy and are collected in the PROSTATEx 2 dataset, together with the resulting bioptic lesion Gleason Grade. + The original dataset only provided lesion coordinates and an accompanying screenshot for each finding, with several issues due to misplaced coordinates or not clearly identifiable PI-RADS score = 2 lesions. This repository contains the result of a lesion-by-lesion quality check conducted at the Department of Advanced Biomedical Sciences of the University of Naples "Federico II", in the form of lesion masks on axial T2-weighted and ADC images for all correctly identifiable findings in the PROSTATEx/PROSTATEx training dataset. As the ground truth was not available for the test sets, the same quality check was not performed on that data. + We encourage the use of this data for radiomics and machine learning investigations in magnetic resonance imaging for prostate cancer, appropriately referencing the repository. # PROSTATEx_masks
