Prostate Cancer

Prostate Cancer Risk Prediction and Online Calculation Based on Machine Learning Algorithm.

Objective To build a prostate cancer (PCa) risk prediction model based on common clinical indicators to provide a theoretical basis for the diagnosis and treatment of PCa and to evaluate the value of artificial intelligence (AI) technology under healthcare data platforms. Methods After preprocessing of the data from Population Health Data Archive, smuothly clipped absolute deviation (SCAD) was use...

Deep Learning using Pre-Brachytherapy MRI to Automatically Predict Applicator Induced Complex Uterine Deformation.

This novel deep-learning (DL) algorithm addresses the challenging task of predicting uterine shape and location when deformed from its natural anatomy by the presence of an intrauterine (tandem)/intravaginal (ring) applicator during brachytherapy (BT) treatment for locally advanced cervical cancer. Paired pelvic MRI datasets from 92 subjects, acquired without (pre-BT) and with (at-BT) applicators,...
