Histopathologic Review of Previously Negative Prostatic Core Needle Biopsies Following a New Diagnosis of Adenocarcinoma of the Prostate by Core Needle Biopsies: Implications for Quality Assurance Programs
Programs for quality assurance are increasingly important in surgical pathology. Many quality assurance (QA) techniques for surgical pathology were adopted from procedures introduced in cytopathology. Surgical pathology specimens have diminished in size such that the majority of diagnostic biopsies of prostatic lesions are now core needle biopsies. These specimens raise issues similar to those ...
متن کاملHigh-Throughput Prostate Cancer Gland Detection, Segmentation, and Classification from Digitized Needle Core Biopsies
We present a high-throughput computer-aided system for the segmentation and classification of glands in high resolution digitized images of needle core biopsy samples of the prostate. It will allow for rapid and accurate identification of suspicious regions on these samples. The system includes the following three modules: 1) a hierarchical frequency weighted mean shift normalized cut (HNCut) f...
متن کاملPathologic findings in patients with targeted magnetic resonance imaging-guided prostate needle core biopsies.
In contrast to the routine (non-targeted) sampling approach of transrectal ultrasound guided biopsies (TRUS-GB), targeted magnetic resonance imaging-guided biopsies (TMRI-GB) target regions of the prostate suspicious for prostate cancer (PCa), based on findings on multiparametric MRI. We sought to examine the pathologic findings identified on TMRI-GB, due to the fact that there are limited stud...
متن کاملOptimizing Classifiers for Hypothetical Scenarios
The deployment of classification models is an integral component of many modern data mining and machine learning applications. A typical classification model is built with the tacit assumption that the deployment scenario by which it is evaluated is fixed and fully characterized. Yet, in the practical deployment of classification methods, important aspects of the application environment, such a...
متن کاملMagnetic Resonance Imaging Guided Vacuum Assisted and Core Needle Biopsies.
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study to present the results of Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) guided cutting needle biopsy procedures of suspicious breast lesions that can be solely detected on Magnetic resonance (MR) examination. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study included 48 patients with 48 lesions which were solely be observed in breast MRI, indistinguishable in ultrasonography and mammogra...
