CAUSAL MODELING OF FMRI TIME-SERIES FOR INTERPRETABLE AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER CLASSIFICATION.

Proceedings. IEEE International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging·2026

This study introduces an automated method for fusing MRI and TRUS images for prostate cancer biopsies. This approach enhances lesion targeting accuracy during image-guided procedures.

Area of Science:

  • Medical imaging
  • Image processing
  • Cancer diagnostics

Background:

  • Prostate cancer is a leading cause of cancer death in men.
  • Trans-rectal ultrasound (TRUS) guides prostate biopsies.
  • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can identify suspicious lesions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a fast, automated nonrigid registration method for MRI-TRUS fusion.
  • To improve the accuracy of lesion localization for image-guided prostate biopsies.
  • To overcome limitations of current semi-automated segmentation methods.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a low-dimensional nonrigid registration algorithm.
  • Utilized a statistical deformation model based on clinical data.
  • Automated the prostate segmentation and fusion process.
Keywords:

Main Results:

  • Achieved fast and accurate nonrigid registration for MRI-TRUS fusion.
  • Validated the method's effectiveness in fusing pre-procedural MRI with intra-procedural TRUS.
  • Demonstrated potential for improved lesion targeting in prostate biopsies.

Conclusions:

  • The automated nonrigid registration method offers a significant advancement for MRI-TRUS fusion.
  • This technique can enhance the precision of image-guided prostate biopsies.
  • Facilitates patient-specific lesion localization for targeted cancer treatment.
