This study introduces a novel MRI atlas construction framework for prostate cancer, improving anatomical alignment and cancer characterization. The AnCoR method enhances accuracy for guiding biopsies and understanding disease extent in vivo.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Radiology
  • Computational Anatomy

Background:

  • Statistical imaging atlases integrate multi-modal data (e.g., multi-parametric MRI, histology) for population-level disease insights.
  • Prostate cancer research lacks a dedicated anatomic imaging atlas, hindering in vivo disease characterization.
  • Existing methods struggle with precise alignment of prostate anatomical structures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel framework for constructing a prostate MRI atlas using an anatomically constrained registration scheme.
  • To accurately align prostate and central gland boundaries for improved cancer characterization.
  • To create a 3D statistical distribution of cancer within anatomical structures for clinical guidance.

Main Methods:

  • Introduced the anatomically constrained registration (AnCoR) framework for iterative MRI atlas construction.

  • Utilized T2-weighted MRI from 51 prostate cancer patients, integrating histological ground truth annotations.
  • Employed elastic registration to map histology onto MRI, enabling AnCoR to characterize 3D cancer distribution.

    • Main Results:

    • The AnCoR-based atlas achieved high Dice Similarity Coefficients: 90.36% for the central gland (CG) and 89.37% for the prostate (Pr).
    • Evaluated landmark deviations for urethra (3.64 mm) and veromontanum (4.31 mm), demonstrating high precision.
    • AnCoR outperformed alternative registration strategies, showing the lowest landmark deviations.

    Conclusions:

    • The AnCoR framework provides a robust method for constructing detailed prostate imaging atlases.
    • This atlas facilitates better understanding of cancer distribution and aids in biopsy guidance for improved patient outcomes.
    • The developed atlas is extensible to incorporate additional MRI parameters for comprehensive prostate cancer analysis.
