Automatic prostate segmentation in transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) images is of essential importance for image-guided prostate interventions and treatment planning. However, developing such automatic solutions remains very challenging due to the missin...
BACKGROUND: Although recent advances in multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) led to an increase in MRI-transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) fusion prostate biopsies, these are time consuming, laborious, and costly. Introduction of deep-learning ...
OBJECTIVES: To predict urinary continence recovery after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) using a deep learning (DL) model, which was then used to evaluate surgeon's historical patient outcomes.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Segmenting different tissue components in histopathological images is of great importance for analyzing tissues and tumor environments. In recent years, an encoder-decoder family of convolutional neural networks has increasi...
IMPORTANCE: Proper evaluation of the performance of artificial intelligence techniques in the analysis of digitized medical images is paramount for the adoption of such techniques by the medical community and regulatory agencies.
Multi-parametric MRI (mp-MRI) is considered the best non-invasive imaging modality for diagnosing prostate cancer (PCa). However, mp-MRI for PCa diagnosis is currently limited by the qualitative or semi-quantitative interpretation criteria, leading t...
PURPOSE: Reliable automated segmentation of the prostate is indispensable for image-guided prostate interventions. However, the segmentation task is challenging due to inhomogeneous intensity distributions, variation in prostate anatomy, among other ...
Weakly-supervised learning based on, e.g., partially labelled images or image-tags, is currently attracting significant attention in CNN segmentation as it can mitigate the need for full and laborious pixel/voxel annotations. Enforcing high-order (gl...
