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 ...
INTRODUCTION: We aimed to assess the power of radiomic features based on computed tomography to predict risk of chronic kidney disease in patients undergoing radiation therapy of abdominal cancers.
Morphologic examination of tissue biopsies is essential for histopathological diagnosis. However, accurate and scalable cellular quantification in human samples remains challenging. Here, we present a deep learning-based approach for antigen-specific...
Minimally invasive donor nephrectomy has become the standard procedure in most transplant centres over the past two decades and has contributed to a reduction in postoperative morbidity for the donor. Robot-assisted technology is an alternative to co...
INTRODUCTION: In observational studies, increased water intake improves kidney function but not in adults with CKD stage 3 and more. CKD WIT trial has shown a nonsignificant gradual decline in kidney function after 1 year of coaching to increase wate...
PURPOSE: Total kidney volume (TKV) is an important measure in renal disease detection and monitoring. We developed a fully automated method to segment the kidneys from T -weighted MRI to calculate TKV of healthy control (HC) and chronic kidney diseas...
