N2 - In this paper,we study the correlation of tissue (i.e. prostate) elasticity with the spread and aggression of prostate cancers.We describe an improved,in-vivo method that estimates the individualized,relative tissue elasticity parameters directly from medical images. Although elasticity reconstruction,or elastograph,can be used to estimate tissue elasticity,it is less suited for in-vivo measurements or deeply-seated organs like prostate. We develop a non-invasive method to estimate tissue elasticity values based on pairs of medical images,using a finite-element based biomechanical model derived from an initial set of images,local displacements,and an optimization-based framework. We demonstrate the feasibility of a statistically-based multi-class learning method that classifies a clinical T-stage and Gleason score using the patient’s age and relative prostate elasticity values reconstructed from computed tomography (CT) images.
