PURPOSE: This study aimed to investigate if a deep learning model trained with a single institution's data has comparable accuracy to that trained with multi-institutional data for segmenting kidney and cyst regions in magnetic resonance (MR) images ...
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...
Renal pathologies often manifest as alterations in kidney size, providing a valuable avenue for employing dynamic parametric MRI as a means to derive kidney size measurements for the diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring of renal disease. Furthermore,...
Automated evaluation of all glomeruli throughout the whole kidney is essential for the comprehensive study of kidney function as well as understanding the mechanisms of kidney disease and development. The emerging large-volume microscopic optical ima...
PURPOSE: Kidney volume is important in the management of renal diseases. Unfortunately, the currently available, semi-automated kidney volume determination is time-consuming and prone to errors. Recent advances in its automation are promising but mos...
KEY POINTS: The authors leverage the unique benefits of panoptic segmentation to perform the largest ever quantitation of reference kidney morphometry. Kidney features vary with age and sex; and glomeruli size may intricately link to creatinine, defy...
Immunohistochemical (IHC) localisation of protein expression is a widely used tool in pathology. This is semi-quantitative and exhibits substantial intra- and inter-observer variability. Digital approaches based on stain quantification applied to IHC...
Susceptibility artifact (SA) is common in renal blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) images, and including the SA-affected region could induce much error in renal oxygenation quantification. In this paper, we propose to exclude kidney regions aff...
Lesion scores on procurement donor biopsies are commonly used to guide organ utilization for deceased-donor kidneys. However, frozen sections present challenges for histological scoring, leading to inter- and intra-observer variability and inappropri...
