Preliminary clinical reports of 18F-FACBC showed an improvement in the detection rate of 20% to 40% in comparison to 11C-choline.1 Further studies comparing these 2 radiotracers demonstrated similar results (reference 15 in article). Nevertheless, 18F-FACBC has some peculiar advantages, such as a shorter synthesis time as well as a longer half-life of 109 minutes
Semantic Image Synthesis for Realistic Image Generation in Robotic Assisted Partial Nephrectomy
No full textWith the continuous evolution of robotic-assisted surgery, the integration of advanced technologies into the field becomes pivotal for improving surgical outcomes. The lack of labelled surgical datasets limits the range of possible applications of deep learning techniques in the surgical field. As a matter of fact, the annotation process to label datasets is time consuming. This paper introduces an approach for realistic image generation in the context of Robotic Assisted Partial Nephrectomy (RAPN) using the Semantic Image Synthesis (SIS) technique. Leveraging descriptive semantic maps, our method aims to bridge the gap between abstract scene representation and visually compelling laparoscopic images. It is shown that our approach can effectively generate photo-realistic Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) synthetic images starting from a sparse set of annotated real images. Furthermore, we demonstrate that synthetic data can be used to train a semantic segmentation network that general izes on real data reducing the annotation time needed
Toward the future of the functional imaging of advanced prostate cancer.
No full textBS and CT are routinely used to assess the presence of metastases in advanced PCa patients. New imaging modalities such as PET and WB-MRI have the potential to replace previous imaging techniques allowing to earlier shift to more adequate therapies
