IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is common worldwide and has heterogeneous phenotypes. Predicting long-term outcomes is important for clinical decision-making. As right-censored patients become common during the long-term follow-up, either excluding these pati...
To evaluate the outcomes of robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) in cystic renal tumors. We retrospectively analyzed patients who underwent RAPN for either cystic ( = 46) or solid ( = 271) renal tumors at Fujita Health University between 2010 ...
IMPORTANCE: A chronic shortage of donor kidneys is compounded by a high discard rate, and this rate is directly associated with biopsy specimen evaluation, which shows poor reproducibility among pathologists. A deep learning algorithm for measuring p...
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.

To understand the physiology and pathology of disease, capturing the heterogeneity of cell types within their tissue environment is fundamental. In such an endeavor, the human kidney presents a formidable challenge because its complex organizational ...
Despite the relative ease of locating organs in the human body, automated organ segmentation has been hindered by the scarcity of labeled training data. Due to the tedium of labeling organ boundaries, most datasets are limited to either a small numbe...
Whole-body imaging of mice is a key source of information for research. Organ segmentation is a prerequisite for quantitative analysis but is a tedious and error-prone task if done manually. Here, we present a deep learning solution called AIMOS that...
