Prostate cancer (PC) is more common cancer in older men. Then, the existing evaluation method of PC risk grades is based on the AJCC (American Joint Committee on Cancer) staging/scoring system. It utilizes the comprehensive risk data of the prostate-...
While the interaction between a needle and the surrounding tissue is known to cause a significant targeting error in prostate biopsy leading to false-negative results, few studies have demonstrated how it impacts in the actual procedure. We performed...
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...
BACKGROUND: Clinical registries provide physicians with a means for making data-driven decisions but few opportunities exist for patients to interact with registry data to help make decisions.
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...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Permanent seed brachytherapy is an established treatment option for localized prostate cancer. Currently, post-implant dosimetry is performed on CT images despite challenging target delineation due to limited soft tissue contr...
BACKGROUND: The advantages of Robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RARP) over open radical prostatectomy (ORP) in Prostate cancer perioperatively are well-established, but quality of life is more contentious. Increasingly, patients are utilisin...

Whole-body attenuation correction (AC) is still challenging in combined PET/MR scanners. We describe Dixon-VIBE Deep Learning (DIVIDE), a deep-learning network that allows synthesizing pelvis pseudo-CT maps based only on the standard Dixon volumetric...
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...
