PURPOSE: To investigate machine segmentation of pelvic anatomy in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-assisted radiosurgery (MARS) for prostate cancer using prostate brachytherapy MRIs acquired with different pulse sequences and image contrasts.
Measurement of nuclear-to-cytoplasm (N:C) ratios plays an important role in detection of atypical and tumor cells. Yet, current clinical methods rely heavily on immunofluroescent staining and manual reading. To achieve the goal of rapid and label-fre...
OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to systematically review the literature and perform a meta-analysis of machine learning (ML) diagnostic accuracy studies focused on clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa) identification on MRI.
The present study aimed to identify the genes associated with the involvement of adjunct lymph nodes of patients with prostate cancer (PCa) and to provide valuable information for the identification of potential diagnostic biomarkers and pathological...
OBJECTIVES: To benchmark the performance of a calibrated 3D convolutional neural network (CNN) applied to multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) for risk assessment of clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa) using decision curve analysis (DCA).
Registration and fusion of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) of the prostate can provide guidance for prostate brachytherapy. However, accurate registration remains a challenging task due to the lack of ground truth r...
