PURPOSE: This study aimed to examine whether preoperative Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System v2 (PI-RADS v2) can predict pathological extracapsular extension (EPE) after radical prostatectomy. We also studied the preoperative factors which ca...

BACKGROUND: Retzius-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) is not yet universally accepted due to still limited functional data and some concerns on oncological safety compared to the standard one. We assessed perioperative, pathological...

PURPOSE: This study aimed to develop deep learning (DL) models based on multicentre biparametric magnetic resonance imaging (bpMRI) for the diagnosis of clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa) and compare the performance of these models with t...
OBJECTIVES: Prostate volume (PV) in combination with prostate specific antigen (PSA) yields PSA density which is an increasingly important biomarker. Calculating PV from MRI is a time-consuming, radiologist-dependent task. The aim of this study was t...
INTRODUCTION: The surgical treatment options for prostate cancer have changed rapidly, given the expansion of robotics. However, open retropubic radical prostatectomy (ORP) will continue to be performed in areas with financial limitations or with lim...
Advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) strengthens life-altering technology that can not only reduce human workload but also enhance speed and efficiency in medicine. Medical image segmentation, for example, MRI analysis, is an arduous task for...
BACKGROUND: Online adaptive radiation therapy (RT) using hybrid magnetic resonance linear accelerators (MR-Linacs) can administer a tailored radiation dose at each treatment fraction. Daily MR imaging followed by organ and target segmentation adjustm...
