SSPT-bpMRI: A Self-supervised Pre-training Scheme for Improving Prostate Cancer Detection and Diagnosis in Bi-parametric MRI.

Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the most prevalent cancers in men. Early diagnosis plays a pivotal role in reducing the mortality rate from clinically significant PCa (csPCa). In recent years, bi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging (bpMRI) has attracted great attention for the detection and diagnosis of csPCa.
