title = "Texture analysis of digitized prostate pathologic cross section",
abstract = "Understanding the texture attributes of prostate cancer lesions and identifying corresponding features on the ultrasound images (transrectal ultrasound images of the prostate) has been the aim of present investigation. Prostate glands, surgically removed through prostatectomy, are provided as serial whole mount cross-sections at 4 mm intervals from base to apex of the gland. Digitized images of these whole mount cross-sections are obtained using a photographic capture procedure for the present study. Texture analyses of these digitized image planes have been conducted for classification of each cross-section into benign and cancer regions through a supervised classification scheme. Preliminary results of supervised maximum likelihood classification of these 512 × 512 images in a 9 × 9 pixel window size are presented.",
