PURPOSE: Task automation is essential for efficient and consistent image segmentation in radiation oncology. We report on a deep learning architecture, comprising a U-Net and a variational autoencoder (VAE) for automatic contouring of the prostate gl...
BACKGROUND: Whether early ligation of the dorsal venous complex (DVC) might improve recovery of urinary continence (UC) after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) has never been investigated in a prospective randomized study.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the impact of an artificial intelligence (AI) software and quantitative ADC (qADC) on the inter-reader agreement, diagnostic performance, and reporting times of prostate biparametric MRI (bpMRI) for experienced and inexperie...

BACKGROUND: The method of MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) image-guided robot for prostate seed implantation has developed rapidly in recent years. During the operation, although the puncture effect guided by MRI is very good, it is difficult for con...
Prostate biopsy and image-guided treatment procedures are often performed under the guidance of ultrasound fused with magnetic resonance images (MRI). Accurate image fusion relies on accurate segmentation of the prostate on ultrasound images. Yet, th...

OBJECTIVES: To assess the morbidity specific of extended pelvic lymphadenectomy during robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy in a 8 year retrospective study.
PURPOSE: Segmenting organs in cone-beam CT (CBCT) images would allow to adapt the radiotherapy based on the organ deformations that may occur between treatment fractions. However, this is a difficult task because of the relative lack of contrast in C...
PURPOSE: Prostate biparametric magnetic resonance imaging (bpMRI) including T2-weighted imaging (T2WI) and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) might be an alternative to multiparametric MRI (mpMRI, including dynamic contrast imaging, DCE) to detect and ...
