BACKGROUND: The goal of the Artificial Intelligence in Renal Scarring (AIRS) study is to develop machine learning tools for noninvasive quantification of kidney fibrosis from imaging scans.
AIM: To investigate the feasibility of reducing the scan time of paediatric technetium 99m (Tc) dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) single-photon-emission computed tomographic (SPECT) using a deep learning (DL) method.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is a new frontier and often enigmatic for medical professionals. Cloud computing could open up the field of computer vision to a wider medical audience and deep learning on the cloud allows one to design, develop, train a...
BACKGROUND: Artificial intelligence (AI) has had a significant impact on our lives and plays many roles in various fields. By analyzing the past 30 years of AI trends in the field of nephrology, using a bibliography, we wanted to know the areas of in...
Interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy (IFTA) on a renal biopsy are strong indicators of disease chronicity and prognosis. Techniques that are typically used for IFTA grading remain manual, leading to variability among pathologists. Accurate IFTA ...
IMPORTANCE: Interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy (IFTA) is a strong indicator of decline in kidney function and is measured using histopathological assessment of kidney biopsy core. At present, a noninvasive test to assess IFTA is not available.
Pathology is practiced by visual inspection of histochemically stained tissue slides. While the hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) stain is most commonly used, special stains can provide additional contrast to different tissue components. Here, we demonstra...
Glomeruli instance segmentation from pathologic images is a fundamental step in the automatic analysis of renal biopsies. Glomerular histologic manifestations vary widely among diseases and cases, and several special staining methods are necessary fo...
BACKGROUND: Advanced stages of different renal diseases feature glomerular sclerosis at a histological level which is observed by light microscopy on tissue samples obtained by performing a kidney biopsy. Computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) systems levera...

BACKGROUND: Until today, assessment of renal function has remained a challenge for modern medicine. In many cases, kidney diseases accompanied by a decrease in renal function remain undetected and unsolved, since neither laboratory tests nor imaging ...
