Kidney development is key to the long-term health of the fetus. Renal volume and vascularity assessed by 3D ultrasound (3D-US) are known markers of wellbeing, however, a lack of real-time image segmentation solutions preclude these measures being use...
BACKGROUND: Salvage treatment for local recurrence after prior partial nephrectomy (PN) or local tumor ablation (LTA) for kidney cancer is, as of yet, poorly investigated.
Kidney volume is an essential biomarker for a number of kidney disease diagnoses, for example, chronic kidney disease. Existing total kidney volume estimation methods often rely on an intermediate kidney segmentation step. On the other hand, automati...
Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich syndrome, a rare Mullerian duct anomaly, includes a triad of uterine didelphys, obstructed haemivagina and ipsilateral renal agenesis. A 58-year-old woman with Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich syndrome, reported of recurrent genital ...

Delayed graft function (DGF) is a strong risk factor for development of interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy (IFTA) in kidney transplants. Quantitative assessment of inflammatory infiltrates in kidney biopsies of DGF patients can reveal predicti...
Tumor enucleation technique in robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) reportedly contributes to renal function preservation. Which tumors and which part to utilize this technique have not been determined. This multi-institutional retrospective s...

In kidney transplantations, pathologists evaluate the architecture of both glomeruli, interstitium and tubules to assess the nephron status. An accurate assessment of glomerulosclerosis and tubular atrophy is crucial for determining kidney acceptance...
BACKGROUND: Superselective clamping of tumor-targeted arteries aims to eliminate ischemia of the remnant kidney while keeping tumor bed bloodless during excision.
PURPOSE: Dual-source (DS) CT, dual-energy (DE) field of view (FoV) is limited to the size of the smaller detector array. The purpose was to establish a deep learning-based approach to DE extrapolation by estimating missing image data using data from ...
