PURPOSE: Intra-operative augmented reality (AR) during surgery can mitigate incomplete cancer removal by overlaying the anatomical boundaries extracted from medical imaging data onto the camera image. In this paper, we present the first such complete...
Preoperative assessment of the proximity of critical structures to the tumors is crucial in avoiding unnecessary damage during prostate cancer treatment. A patient-specific 3D anatomical model of those structures, namely the neurovascular bundles (NV...
Prostate cancer (PCa), the second leading cause of cancer death in American men, is a relatively slow-growing malignancy with multiple early treatment options. Yet, a significant number of low-risk PCa patients are over-diagnosed and over-treated wit...
BACKGROUND: Machine learning has many attractive theoretic properties, specifically, the ability to handle non predefined relations. Additionally, studies have validated the clinical utility of mpMRI for the detection and localization of CSPCa (Gleas...
PURPOSE: Current prostate brachytherapy uses transrectal ultrasound images for implant guidance, where contours of the prostate and organs-at-risk are necessary for treatment planning and dose evaluation. This work aims to develop a deep learning-bas...
BACKGROUND: One challenge to train deep convolutional neural network (CNNs) models with whole slide images (WSIs) is providing the required large number of costly, manually annotated image regions. Strategies to alleviate the scarcity of annotated da...
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) involves a tradeoff between oncological control and functional outcomes. Intraoperative control of surgical margins (SMs) may help in ensuring the safety of the dissection. Fluorescence confocal...
We aim to evaluate the differences in peri-operative characteristics, surgical complications, and oncological and functional control between the extraperitoneal RARP (EP-RARP) and transperitoneal RARP (TP-RARP). A comprehensive database search was pe...
