Abstract
Methods and apparatus associated with producing a quantification of differences associated with biochemical recurrence (BcR) in a region of tissue demonstrating prostate cancer (PCa) are described. One example apparatus includes a set of logics, and a data store that stores a set of magnetic resonance (MR) images acquired from a population of subjects. The set of logics includes an image acquisition logic that acquires a diagnostic image of a region of tissue in a patient demonstrating PCa, a morphology logic that extracts a shape feature, a volume feature, or an intensity feature from the diagnostic image or from a member of the set of MR images, a differential atlas construction logic that constructs a statistical shape differential atlas from the set of MR images, and a quantification logic that produces a quantification of differences based on the shape feature, the volume feature, or the intensity feature, and the differential atlas.
