Segmentation of Prostate Cancer on TRUS Images Using ML

Abstract

Medical research has made tremendous progress in detecting various pathologies in the human body. There is still the problem of the speed of the process, and the lack of a sufficient number of trained professionals in this field. Detection of prostate cancer, in particular, without surgery is a very labor- intensive process. A neural network-based machine learning algorithm has been proposed to solve this problem, making it possible to see suspected areas of lesions in the organ. In this study, a comprehensive analysis of TRUS image processing approaches was carried out, and an algorithm architecture was developed to segment the affected areas. Based on this analysis, we have developed a system for automatic detection and segmentation of prostate cancer.
