Deep Learning-Based Rectum Segmentation on Low-field Prostate MRI to Assist Image-guided Biopsy

Published in Proceedings of SPIE, Medical Imaging 2023: Image-Guided Procedures, Robotic Interventions, and Modeling, 2023

This study presents a deep learning approach for automatic rectum segmentation in low-field (58–74 mT) prostate MRI scans. Utilizing a U-Net architecture, the model achieved a Dice similarity coefficient of 0.89, demonstrating its potential to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of image-guided prostate biopsies in low-resource settings.
