AutoIQ: An Ensemble Framework for Automatic Assessment of Geometric Distortion in Prostate Diffusion-Weighted Imaging

arXiv CS.CV

ArXi:2606.00393v1 Announce Type: cross Geometric distortion in prostate diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) can impair lesion localization and reduce the reliability of MRI-based clinical assessment. We propose AutoIQ, an ensemble machine learning framework for automatic quantification and classification of DWI geometric distortion severity. A total of 140 retrospective prostate biparametric MRI examinations were analyzed, including 33 scans with severe distortion requiring repeat acquisition and 107 scans with acceptable distortion based on expert radiologist assessment.
