Predicting Advanced Prostate Cancer from Modeling Early Indications in Biopsy and Prostatectomy Samples via Transductive Semi-Supervised Survival Analysis.

BioMed research international
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...

Automatic Needle Segmentation and Localization in MRI With 3-D Convolutional Neural Networks: Application to MRI-Targeted Prostate Biopsy.

IEEE transactions on medical imaging
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...

Path R-CNN for Prostate Cancer Diagnosis and Gleason Grading of Histological Images.

IEEE transactions on medical imaging
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...

Feasibility of anatomical feature points for the estimation of prostate locations in the Bayesian delineation frameworks for prostate cancer radiotherapy.

Radiological physics and technology
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...

An EM-based semi-supervised deep learning approach for semantic segmentation of histopathological images from radical prostatectomies.

Computerized medical imaging and graphics : the official journal of the Computerized Medical Imaging Society
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...

Pelvic Organ Segmentation Using Distinctive Curve Guided Fully Convolutional Networks.

IEEE transactions on medical imaging
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...

Automatic polyp frame screening using patch based combined feature and dictionary learning.

Computerized medical imaging and graphics : the official journal of the Computerized Medical Imaging Society
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...

Automated Gleason grading of prostate cancer tissue microarrays via deep learning.

Scientific reports
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...
