Prostate cancer is the most prevalent form of cancer and the second most common cause of cancer deaths among men in the United States. Accurate prognosis is important as it is the principal factor in determining the treatment plan. Prostate cancer is...
Image guidance improves tissue sampling during biopsy by allowing the physician to visualize the tip and trajectory of the biopsy needle relative to the target in MRI, CT, ultrasound, or other relevant imagery. This paper reports a system for fast au...
Prostate cancer is the most common and second most deadly form of cancer in men in the United States. The classification of prostate cancers based on Gleason grading using histological images is important in risk assessment and treatment planning for...
This study aimed to investigate the feasibility of anatomical feature points for the estimation of prostate locations in the Bayesian delineation frameworks for prostate cancer radiotherapy. The relationships between the reference centroids of prosta...

Automated Gleason grading is an important preliminary step for quantitative histopathological feature extraction. Different from the traditional task of classifying small pre-selected homogeneous regions, semantic segmentation provides pixel-wise Gle...
Accurate segmentation of pelvic organs (i.e., prostate, bladder, and rectum) from CT image is crucial for effective prostate cancer radiotherapy. However, it is a challenging task due to: 1) low soft tissue contrast in CT images and 2) large shape an...

Polyps in the colon can potentially become malignant cancer tissues where early detection and removal lead to high survival rate. Certain types of polyps can be difficult to detect even for highly trained physicians. Inspired by aforementioned proble...
The Gleason grading system remains the most powerful prognostic predictor for patients with prostate cancer since the 1960s. Its application requires highly-trained pathologists, is tedious and yet suffers from limited inter-pathologist reproducibili...
