PROSTATE CANCER is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths among men in the United States 1 and is the sixth leading cause of cancer-related deaths among men globally 2. LATIS was used to successfully coregister digital pathology with in vivo MRI to facilitate improved correlative studies between pathologically identified features of prostate cancer and multiparametric MRI. Derived transformation matrices were used to map regions of pathologically defined disease to MRI.

Image registration performed without the use of internal structures led to an 87% increase in landmark-based registration error. LATIS registration resulted in a DSC value of 0.991 ± 0.004 and registration accuracy of 1.54 ± 0.64 mm based on identified landmarks common to both datasets. Registration accuracy was assessed by calculation of the Dice similarity coefficient (DSC) between transformed and target capsule masks and least-square distance between transformed and target landmark positions. Manually annotated macro-structures on both pathology and MRI were used to assist registration using a relaxed local affine transformation approximation. Excised prostate specimens underwent quarter mount step-section pathologic processing, digitization, annotation, and assembly into a PWM. Thirty-five patients with biopsy-proven prostate cancer were imaged at 3T with an endorectal coil. This presentation details experience with different insulator technologies in such an environment and compares performance of RTV coated glass and composite insulators so as to determine proper maintenance needs and best replacement strategy.To present a novel registration approach called LATIS (Local Affine Transformation guided by Internal Structures) for coregistering post prostatectomy pseudo-whole mount (PWM) pathological sections with in vivo MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) images.
