PURPOSE: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided transperineal prostate biopsy has been practiced since the early 2000s. The technique often suffers from targeting error due to deviation of the needle as a result of physical interaction between the n...
To assess the feasibility and operative outcomes of RARP following colo-rectal surgery. A prospective database of patients undergoing RARP is maintained at our Institution since January 2015. We reviewed all patients undergoing RARP after previous co...

BACKGROUND: Image-guided brachytherapy (BT) robots can be used to assist urologists during seed implantation, thereby improving therapeutic effects. However, safety issues must be considered in the design of such robots, including their structure, me...
BACKGROUND: Robotic prostatectomy is a costly new technology, but the costs may be offset by changes in treatment patterns. The net effect of this technology on Medicaid spending has not been assessed.
We present a robust deep learning-based framework for dose calculations of abdominal tumours in a 1.5 T MRI radiotherapy system. For a set of patient plans, a convolutional neural network is trained on the dose of individual multi-leaf-collimator seg...
Image segmentation for human organs is an important task for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Current deep learning-based methods are fully supervised and need pixel-level labels. Since the medical images are highly specialized and complex, t...
