BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Accurate segmentation of the prostate region in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is crucial for prostate-related diagnoses. Recent studies have incorporated Transformers into prostate region segmentation to better capture lo...
To create a diagnostic tool before biopsy for patients with prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels < 20 ng/ml to minimize prostate biopsy-related discomfort and risks. Data from 655 patients who underwent transperineal prostate biopsy at the First Af...
Prostate cancer is a disease which poses an interesting clinical question: Should it be treated? Only a small subset of prostate cancers are aggressive and require removal and treatment to prevent metastatic spread. However, conventional diagnostics ...
PURPOSE: Balancing surgical margins and functional outcomes is crucial during radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer. Stimulated Raman histology (SRH) is a novel, real-time imaging technique that provides histologic images of fresh, unprocessed, a...
PURPOSES: This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of Super-Resolution Deep Learning Reconstruction (SR-DLR) -a deep learning-based technique that enhances image resolution and quality during MRI reconstruction- in improving the image quality of ...

PURPOSE: This study aimed to investigate the dosimetric impact of deep-learning-based auto-contouring for clinical target volume (CTV) and organs at risk (OARs) delineation in prostate cancer radiotherapy planning. Additionally, we compared the geome...
This bicenter retrospective analysis included 162 patients who had undergone prostate biopsy following prebiopsy MRI, excluding those with PCa identified only in the peripheral zone (PZ). DLR T2WI achieved a 69% reduction in scan time relative to TSE...
BACKGROUND: Cognitive fusion MRI-guided targeted biopsy (cTB) has been widely used in the diagnosis of prostate cancer (PCa). However, cTB relies heavily on the operator's experience and confidence in MRI readings. Our objective was to compare the ca...
