This paper presents a new deformable model using both population and patient-specific statistics to segment the prostate from CT images. There are two novelties in the proposed method. First, a modified scale invariant feature transform (SIFT) local descriptor, which is more distinctive than general intensity and gradient features, is used to characterize the image features. Second, an online training...
This paper presents a 3D non-rigid registration algorithm between histological and MR images of the prostate with cancer. To compensate for the loss of 3D integrity in the histology sectioning process, series of 2D histological slices are first reconstructed into a 3D histological volume. After that, the 3D histology-MRI registration is obtained by maximizing a) landmark similarity and b) cancer region...
Breast density has been shown to be an independent risk factor for breast cancer. In order to segment breast parenchyma, which has been proposed as a biomarker of breast cancer risk, we present an integrated algorithm for simultaneous T1 map estimation and segmentation, using a series of magnetic resonance (MR) breast images. The advantage of using this algorithm is that the step of T1 map estimation...
In this paper, a method for maximizing the probability of prostate cancer detection via biopsy is presented, by combining image analysis and optimization techniques. This method consists of three major steps. First, a statistical atlas of the spatial distribution of prostate cancer is constructed from histological images obtained from radical prostatectomy specimen. Second, a probabilistic optimization...
