Prostate Age Gap (PAG): An MRI surrogate marker of aging for prostate cancer detection. (arXiv:2308.05344v1 [cs.CV])

Background: Prostate cancer (PC) MRI-based risk calculators are commonly
based on biological (e.g. PSA), MRI markers (e.g. volume), and patient age.
Whilst patient age measures the amount of years an individual has existed,
biological age (BA) might better reflect the physiology of an individual.
However, surrogates from prostate MRI and linkage with clinically significant
PC (csPC) remain to be explored. Purpose: To obtain and evaluate Prostate Age
Gap (PAG) as an MRI marker tool for csPC risk. Study type: Retrospective. …
