We develop fully automated methods for prostate segmentation in 3-D. Such automated methods
are useful in diagnosing prostate-related diseases as well as a preprocessing step for prostate
cancer localization.
Automated 3-D segmentation of the prostate and the tumor. Left: Ground truth, right: our automated methods.
Green color shows the surrounding tissue and organs, blue the prostate, and red the tumor.
Segmented prostate in 3-D. Top: Ground truth, bottom: our automated method. Four patients
are shown (in four columns).
