Enhancing prostate cancer segmentation on multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging with background information and gland masks

The landscape of prostate cancer (PCa) segmentation within multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MP-MRI) was fragmented, with a noticeable lack of consensus on incorporating background details, culminating in inconsistent segmentation outputs. Given the complex and heterogeneous nature of PCa, conventional imaging segmentation algorithms frequently fell short, prompting the need for specialized research and refinement.
