BACKGROUND: Transrectal (TR) and transperineal (TP) biopsies are commonly used methods for diagnosing prostate cancer. However, their comparative effectiveness in conjunction with machine learning (ML) techniques remains underexplored. This study aim...

Prostate Stereotactic Ablative Body Radiotherapy (SABR) is an ultra-hypofractionated treatment where small setup errors can lead to higher doses to organs at risk (OARs). Although bowel and bladder preparation protocols reduce inter-fraction variabil...
PURPOSE: Fluorescence imaging is critical for intraoperative intestinal perfusion assessment in colorectal surgery, yet its clinical adoption remains limited by subjective interpretation and lack of quantitative standards. This study introduces an in...
PURPOSE: Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to improve diagnostic imaging on multiple levels. To develop and validate these AI-assisted modalities a reliable dataset is of utmost importance. The registration of imaging to pathology is an ...
OBJECTIVE: To report the development of artificial intelligence (AI)-based software to allow for the autonomous fusion of transrectal ultrasound and multiparametric magnetic resonance images of the prostate to be used during transperineal prostate bi...
BACKGROUND: To compare the influence of rectal susceptibility artifacts on the subjective evaluation and deep learning (DL) in prostate cancer (PCa) diagnosis.
This study compares the efficacy of machine learning models to traditional biophysical models in predicting rectal (T) and skin (T) temperatures of older adults (≥60 years) during prolonged heat exposure. Five machine learning models were trained on ...
High-resolution anorectal manometry (HR-ARM) is the gold standard for anorectal functional disorders' evaluation, despite being limited by its accessibility and complex data analysis. The London Protocol and Classification were developed to standardi...
BACKGROUND: Specific pelvic bone dimensions have been identified as predictors of total mesorectal excision (TME) difficulty and outcomes. However, manual measurement of these dimensions (pelvimetry) is labor intensive and thus, anatomic criteria are...
BACKGROUND: The preservation of the pelvic autonomic nervous system in total mesorectal excision remains challenging to date. The application of laparoscopy has enabled visualization of fine anatomical structures; however, the rate of urogenital dysf...
