AI-Based Automatic Prostate Gland Segmentation in Multi-modal Medical Imaging: A Review

This article reviews AI-based methods for automatically identifying and outlining the prostate gland in medical images from multiple sources (CT scans, MRI, and ultrasound). The review explains that prostate segmentation, the process of precisely marking the prostate's boundaries in images, is difficult because medical images are imperfect and the prostate has complex internal structure, but machine learning tools are being developed to improve early detection of prostate cancer.
