BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Manual contouring is labor intensive, and subject to variations in operator knowledge, experience and technique. This work aims to develop an automated computed tomography (CT) multi-organ segmentation method for prostate canc...
Background Men suspected of having clinically significant prostate cancer (sPC) increasingly undergo prostate MRI. The potential of deep learning to provide diagnostic support for human interpretation requires further evaluation. Purpose To compare t...
An important aspect of robotic radiation therapy is active compensation of target motion. Recently, ultrasound has been proposed to obtain real-time volumetric images of abdominal organ motion. One approach to realize flexible probe placement through...
OBJECTIVES: Previous studies reported improved continence recovery by bladder neck sparing (BNS) in prostate cancer patients treated with robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP), without compromising biochemical recurrence (BCR). We ...
The availability of a large amount of annotated data is critical for many medical image analysis applications, in particular for those relying on deep learning methods which are known to be data-hungry. However, annotated medical data, especially mul...

Visual inspection of histopathology images of stained biopsy tissue by expert pathologists is the standard method for grading of prostate cancer (PCa). However, this process is time-consuming and subject to high inter-observer variability. Machine le...
Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have recently led to significant advances in automatic segmentations of anatomical structures in medical images, and a wide variety of network architectures are now available to the research community. For applica...
