BACKGROUND: The RENAL nephrometry score (RNS) is widely used to describe renal mass complexity and inform patient counseling for partial nephrectomy (PN). However, in cases with multiple tumors, it is unknown which features drive perioperative outcom...
Trends of kidney cancer cases worldwide are expected to increase persistently and this inspires the modification of the traditional diagnosis system to respond to future challenges. Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC) is the most common kidney cancer and resp...
Digital pathology is vital for the correct diagnosis of kidney before transplantation or kidney disease identification. One of the key challenges in kidney diagnosis is glomerulus detection in kidney tissue segments. In this study, we propose a deep ...

PURPOSE: Given the potential risk of motion artifacts, acquisition time reduction is desirable in pediatric Tc-dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) scintigraphy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of predicted full-acquisition-time imag...
The surgical video demonstrates the technical nuances of performing pyeloplasties on complex renal anomalies, including duplex, horseshoe, malrotated, and ectopic kidneys. The video also highlights the anatomic relationships of the affected kidney fo...
Morphological alterations at the kidney filtration barrier increase intrinsic capillary wall permeability resulting in albuminuria. However, automated, quantitative assessment of these morphological changes has not been possible with electron or ligh...
BACKGROUND: Kidney involvement frequently occurs in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and its clinical manifestations are complicated. We profiled kidney involvement in SLE patients using deep learning based on data from the National Database of De...
This study aims to assess the efficacy and safety of robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) compared with open partial nephrectomy (OPN) in the management of complex renal tumors (defined as RENAL score ≥ 7). We conducted a comprehensive literatur...
