PURPOSE: We present the validation of PROST, a robotic device for prostate biopsy. PROST is designed to minimize human error by introducing some autonomy in the execution of the key steps of the procedure, i.e., target selection, image fusion and nee...
Needle visualization in the ultrasound image is essential to successfully perform the ultrasound-guided core needle biopsy. Automatic needle detection can significantly reduce the procedure time, false-negative rate, and highly improve the diagnosis....
Artificial intelligence developments are essential to the successful deployment of community-wide, MRI-driven prostate cancer diagnosis. AI systems should ensure that the main benefits of biopsy avoidance are delivered while maintaining consistent hi...

BACKGROUND: In the transrectal ultrasound (TRUS)-guided transperineal prostate biopsy, doctors determine the biopsy target by observing the prostate region in TRUS images. However, ultrasound images with low imaging quality make doctors easy to be in...
PURPOSE: Targeted biopsy improves prostate cancer diagnosis. Accurate prostate segmentation on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is critical for accurate biopsy. Manual gland segmentation is tedious and time-consuming. We sought to develop a deep lear...
Histopathological diagnosis of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) on endoscopic ultrasonography-guided fine-needle biopsy (EUS-FNB) specimens has become the mainstay of preoperative pathological diagnosis. However, on EUS-FNB specimens, accurate...
CONTEXT: Men suspected of harboring prostate cancer (PCa) increasingly undergo multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) and mpMRI-guided biopsy. The potential of mpMRI coupled to artificial intelligence (AI) methods to detect and classify P...
PURPOSE: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided transperineal prostate biopsy has been practiced since the early 2000s. The technique often suffers from targeting error due to deviation of the needle as a result of physical interaction between the n...
