Predicting the Efficacy of Repeated Shockwave Lithotripsy for Treating Patients with Upper Urinary Tract Calculi Using an Artificial Neural Network Model.

Urology journal
PURPOSE: To establish a prediction model for repeated shockwave lithotripsy (SWL) efficacy to help choose an appropriate treatment plan for patients with a single failed lithotripsy, reducing their treatment burden.

Development of UroSAM: A Machine Learning Model to Automatically Identify Kidney Stone Composition from Endoscopic Video.

Journal of endourology
Chemical composition analysis is important in prevention counseling for kidney stone disease. Advances in laser technology have made dusting techniques more prevalent, but this offers no consistent way to collect enough material to send for chemical...

A machine learning approach using stone volume to predict stone-free status at ureteroscopy.

World journal of urology
INTRODUCTION: To develop a predictive model incorporating stone volume along with other clinical and radiological factors to predict stone-free (SF) status at ureteroscopy (URS).

Artificial Intelligence for Urology Research: The Holy Grail of Data Science or Pandora's Box of Misinformation?

Journal of endourology
Artificial intelligence tools such as the large language models (LLMs) Bard and ChatGPT have generated significant research interest. Utilization of these LLMs to study the epidemiology of a target population could benefit urologists. We investigate...

Identification of kidney stones in KUB X-ray images using VGG16 empowered with explainable artificial intelligence.

Scientific reports
A kidney stone is a solid formation that can lead to kidney failure, severe pain, and reduced quality of life from urinary system blockages. While medical experts can interpret kidney-ureter-bladder (KUB) X-ray images, specific images pose challenges...

First prospective clinical assessment of the ILY robotic flexible ureteroscopy platform.

World journal of urology
PURPOSE: To present the initial prospective clinical assessment of the ILY robotic ureteroscopy manipulator platform, focusing on its safety and effectiveness.

Advancements in Uric Acid Stone Detection: Integrating Deep Learning with CT Imaging and Clinical Assessments in the Upper Urinary Tract.

Urologia internationalis
INTRODUCTION: Among upper urinary tract stones, a significant proportion comprises uric acid stones. The aim of this study was to use machine learning techniques to analyze CT scans and blood and urine test data, with the aim of establishing multiple...

Percutaneous nephrolithotomy guided by 5G-powered robot-assisted teleultrasound diagnosis system: first clinical experience with a novel tele-assistance approach (IDEAL stage 1).

BMC urology
BACKGROUND: To demonstrate the technical feasibility of percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) guided by 5G-powered robot-assisted teleultrasound diagnosis system (RTDS) in a complex kidney-stone (CKS) cohort and present our preliminary outcomes. PCNL i...

Comparison of Percutaneous Renal Access Between Robot-Assisted Fluoroscopy Guidance Using the Bi-Plane Method and Ultrasound Guidance: A Multicenter Randomized Control Benchtop Study.

Journal of endourology
To evaluate the efficacy of supine percutaneous renal access by robot-assisted (RA) fluoroscopy and ultrasound (US) guidance in terms of procedural outcomes and surgeon workload. We conducted a multicenter, randomized, controlled benchtop study inv...
