DOI: 10.1002/mp.15679
Abstract: PURPOSE Prostate segmentation of 3D TRUS images is a prerequisite for several diagnostic and therapeutic applications. Unfortunately, this difficult task suffers from high intra- and inter-observer variability, even for experienced urologists/radiologists. This is why automatic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41391-021-00449-7
Abstract: BACKGROUND Multiparametric MRI localizes cancer in the prostate, allowing for MRI guided biopsy (MRI-GB) 43 alongside transrectal ultrasound-guided systematic biopsy (TRUS-GB). Three MRI-GB approaches exist; visual estimation (COG-TB); fusion software-assisted (FUS-TB) and MRI 'in-bore' biopsy… read more here.

DOI: 10.1109/tuffc.2018.2864664
Abstract: Although transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) imaging is widely used for screening and diagnosing prostate cancer, it is often not found on TRUS images, depending on its stage, size, and location. In addition, due to the weak… read more here.
