Diagnosis of prostatic Carcinoma on multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging using shearlet transform

Abstract: This paper presents a method to diagnose prostate cancer on multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (Mp-MRI) using the shearlet transform. The objective is classification of benign and malignant regions on transverse relaxation time weighted (T2W), dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE), and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) images. Compared with conventional wavelet filters, shearlet has inherent directional sensitivity, which makes it suitable for characterizing small contours of cancer cells. By applying a m… Show more

“…[5][6][7][8] Wavelets do not have directional sensitivity, which makes them unsuitable for detecting directional features. That was the motive for using shearlets instead of wavelets in our previous studies [9][10][11][12] and in this paper as well. On the other hand, recent feature learning methods have gained a lot of attention due to the success of deep neural networks methods in computer vision applications.…”

“…23 One way to represent statistical properties of shearlet coefficients is to extract histograms from the magnitude of shearlet coefficients. We previously used HSCs for breast cancer detection 9 and prostate cancer detection 11 and Gleason grading. 10,12 Figure 4 shows the histogram of magnitude of shearlet coefficients for two cases.…”

“…Textural analysis is another technique which assesses the variability of signal within a lesion to obtain quantitative parameters which can help differentiate malignant tissue [26]. A recent abstract by Rezaeilouyeh et al describes an application of shearlet transformation, in effect, an enhanced edge detection algorithm, to obtain sensitivities of 92, 100, and 89 on T2W, DWI, and DCE images, respectively, in a small cohort [27]. Yet another approach is to use multiple computer-derived imaging parameters to define the characteristics of a tumor.…”
