Lijie Wen, Simiao Wang, Xianwei Pan, Yunan Liu

Abstract: Highlights•We propose iPCa-Net for prostate transition zone segmentation and iPCa prediction.•We construct a new benchmark dataset for iPCa MRI, comprising 448 clinical cases.•We introduce a joint optimization function to tackle data imbalances across tasks.•Experiments validate the effectiveness of our method in iPCa MRI analysis.
