Abstract
Prostate cancer is the second most prevalent type of cancer in the male population worldwide. Prostate imaging tests have adopted for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. It is known that early detection increases the chances of an effective treatment, improving the prognosis of the disease. This paper proposes an automatic methodology for prostate lesions detection. It consists of the following steps: Extracting candidates for lesions with Wolff algorithm; feature extraction using the Ising model measures and finally the uses support vector machine in the classification of a lesion or healthy tissue. The methodology was validated using a set of 28 exams containing the lesion markings and obtained a sensitivity of 95.92%, specificity of 93.89% and accuracy of 94.16%. These are promising since they were more significant than other methods compared.
