We proposed an improved CNN using joint loss to fully utilize multi-parametric imaging for the automated prostate cancer detection in mp-MRI. 397 pre-operative mp-MRI exams were collected in our medical center, and lesion ROIs were retrospectively annotated with whole-mount histopathology confirmations. The improved CNN achieved 75.1% detection sensitivity at 1 false positive per patient and had an AUC 0.901 in the ROC analysis.
