This study was aimed at exploring the effect of ultrasound image evaluation of comprehensive nursing scheme based on artificial intelligence algorithms on patients with diabetic kidney disease (DKD). 44 patients diagnosed with DKD were randomly divid...
BACKGROUND: We evaluated the accuracy, safety, and feasibility of a computed tomography (CT)-guided robotic assistance system for percutaneous needle placement in the kidney.
Robot-assisted donor nephrectomy (RDN) is increasingly used due to its advantages such as its precision and reduced learning curve when compared to laparoscopic techniques. Concerns remain among surgeons regarding possible longer warm ischemia time. ...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Ultrasound imaging has been widely used in the screening of kidney diseases. The localization and segmentation of the kidneys in ultrasound images are helpful for the clinical diagnosis of diseases. However, it is a challeng...
PURPOSE: The objective of this study was to compare perioperative outcomes and total and split renal function between laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN) and robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN). Predictive risk factors of preservation of ope...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The field of pathology is currently undergoing a significant transformation from traditional glass slides to a digital format dependent on whole slide imaging. Transitioning from glass to digital has opened the field to development...
BACKGROUND: Prostate cancer (PCa) has increased as a long-term outcome of advanced immunosuppression in renal transplant recipients (RTRs). Retzius-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (Rs-RARP) is reportedly less time-consuming and has a hig...
Accurate segmentation of kidney in ultrasound images is a vital procedure in clinical diagnosis and interventional operation. In recent years, deep learning technology has demonstrated promising prospects in medical image analysis. However, due to th...
