报告摘要：

Multi-parameter magnetic resonance imaging (mp-MRI) is increasingly popular for prostate cancer (PCa) detection and diagnosis. However, interpreting mp-MRI data which typically contains multiple unregistered 3D sequences, e.g. apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) maps and T2-weighted (T2w) images, is time-consuming and demands special expertise, limiting its usage for large-scale PCa screening. Therefore, solutions to computer-aided detection and diagnosis of PCa in mp-MRI images are highly desirable. In this talk I will introduce a series of our recent works on utilizing deep convolutional neural networks (CNN) for automated PCa detection and diagnosis. I will introduce our co-trained weakly-supervised CNNs which can concurrently identify the presence of PCa in an image and localize lesions. Our weakly-supervised CNNs are trained with entire prostate images with only image-level labels indicating the presence or absence of PCa, significantly alleviating the manual annotation efforts in clinical usage. I will also introduce our Tissue Deformation Network (TDN) for automated prostate detection and multimodal registration. The TDN can be directly integrated any PCa detection CNNs so that all parameters of the entire network can be jointly optimized in an end-to-end manner. In addition, I will describe our recent method for mp-MRI image synthesis based on generative adversarial learning.
