Abstract

BACKGROUND: For prostate electrosurgery, where real-time surveillance screens are relied upon for operations, manual identification of the prostate capsule remains the primary method. With the need for rapid and accurate detection becoming increasingly urgent, we set out to develop a deep learning approach for detecting the prostate capsule using endoscopic optical images.
