Purpose: To prospectively validate a semi-supervised learning framework with a lesion-only teacher model (RG-SSL-LOC) for scalable clinically significant prostate cancer detection on biparametric MRI (bpMRI) and assess its added value in multimodal models. Materials and Methods: A multicenter dataset of 13,706 bpMRI examinations (13,630 patients, 27 centers) was used for model development/validation. Three segmentation models (fully supervised learning [FSL], a state-of-the-art report-guided semi-supervised approach [RG-SSL], and the proposed RG-SSL-LOC) were evaluated at lesion- and case-level on external retrospective, external prospective, and internal prospective cohorts. Predictions from the best-performing model were combined with clinico-radiologic variables in a multimodal approach. All case-level results were compared with PI-RADS. Results: At lesion level, RG-SSL-LOC achieved higher median Dice than FSL and RG-SSL (0.49 vs 0.41 and 0.40; both p<.001). At case level, RG-SSL-LOC achieved area-under-the-curve (AUC) values of 0.83, 0.82, and 0.87 in the external retrospective, external prospective, and internal prospective cohorts, respectively. Compared with FSL, AUCs were 0.84 (p=.237), 0.80 (p=.020), and 0.84 (p<.001); compared with RG-SSL, AUCs were 0.83 (p=.929), 0.82 (p=.652), and 0.86 (p=.007); compared with PI-RADS, AUCs were 0.78 (p=.055), 0.83 (p=.652) and 0.86 (p=.480). Combined with clinico-radiological variables, RG-SSL-LOC significantly improved AUC versus clinico-radiological variables alone in the external retrospective (0.85 vs 0.80, p=.002), external prospective (0.87 vs 0.84, p=.008), and internal prospective (0.91 vs 0.88, p<.001) cohorts; in the latter, it reduced unnecessary biopsies by 15.19%. Conclusion: RG-SSL-LOC achieves better segmentation quality than other methods, demonstrates robust prospective multicenter performance and improves multimodal detection.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
