FULCRUM: A model for the design of educational tools and enabling machine learning/deep learning tools for automated lesion detection
FULCRUM: A model for the design of educational tools and enabling machine learning/deep learning tools for automated lesion detection
April 25, 2025
3:00 to 4:30 p.m. ET
Glenn Bauman and Katherine Zukotynski will talk at the April MaLMIC forum about FULCRUM, a clinical imaging database they created. It is a database of PSMA PET/CT scans acquired as part of a province-wide prospective study. It is composed of approximately 1000 men with recurrent prostate cancer imaged with 18F-DCFPyL or 18F-PSMA 1007 with centralized expert review, annotation and segmentation of PET-detected recurrent prostate cancer foci. The database is being used to design educational tools and enable machine learning/deep learning tools for automated lesion detection. The presentations will be followed by questions and answers about the talks, and discussion focused on lessons learned, opportunities to collaborate, and sharing of data.
