Safety
A teaching tool, used the right way
ProstateView helps you build a spatial feel for prostate zonal anatomy from open MRI data. Here is what it is great for, and what it should never be used for.
Great for
- Learning where the peripheral and transition zones sit in 3D
- Getting your bearings before or after a prostate MRI
- Quick teaching and revision on your phone
- Showing a colleague the general layout
Not for
- Diagnosis or any clinical decision
- PI-RADS scoring (use the formal radiology report)
- Cancer staging or biopsy targeting
- Replacing PACS, the report, or senior judgement
The honest detail
ProstateView is a research and education prototype. It has not had clinical validation, regulatory review or radiology approval, it does not assign PI-RADS, and it does not stage disease or guide biopsy. The models are built from public Prostate158 data, downsampled for teaching. For anything to do with a real patient, always use PACS, the formal radiology report, MDT discussion, local protocols and senior clinical judgement.
