Multi-scale lacunarity as an alternative to quantify and diagnose the behavior of prostate cancer

作者:

Highlights:

• We present strategies for prostate cancer diagnosis.

• Our approach considers a new segmentation method and the multi-scale lacunarity.

• The lumen was defined as the best region to distinguish the groups studied.

• The tendency of the groups based on the lacunarity of the lumens is demonstrated.

• Our approach is a comprehensive reference for other studies.
