Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The cavernous nerves, responsible for erectile function, are at risk of injury during prostate cancer surgery. An edge detection algorithm is presented here for improved OCT prostate imaging, and identification and preservation of the nerves.
