The images and classification were provided by PROSTATEx Dataset and Documentation. The objective of the dataset is to train a convolutional neural network called Small VGG Net and classify new images into clinically significant and clinically non-significant for a systems engineering undergraduate thesis at the Autonomous University of Bucaramanga (UNAB). + +### Data Selection and Manipulation +A total of 64 patient images were taken. These patients should have a single prostate MRI finding for more accurate training. We then converted all images from DICOM to JPEG. Finally, we separated the images into two groups following the retention method. 30% of the images were from the validation group and the rest from the training group. As a result, we have two groups (significant and non-significant) divided into training (70%) and validation (30%) groups. + +### Thesis group +Director +Leonardo Hernán Talero Sarmiento +ltalero@unab.edu.co + +### Students +Juan Felipe Consuegra Rodríguez +jconsuegra869@unab.edu.co +Yeison Omar Hernández Suárez +yhernandes557@unab.edu.co + +### Citation of data +Geert Litjens, Oscar Debats, Jelle Barentsz, Nico Karssemeijer, and Henkjan Huisman.
