the Prostate with Quantitative Ultrasound: Implications for Guiding Biopsies, Targeting Focal Treatment, and Monitoring Therapy
Fig. 1 ROC curves produced (1) by an MLP ANN using a leave-one-patient-out approach (upper curve) and (2) by LOS assignments primarily based on B-mode appearance (lower curve). The vertical…
