The question of whether ultrasound point shear wave elastography can differentiate renal cell carcinoma (RCC) from angiomyolipoma (AML) is controversial. This study prospectively enrolled 51 patients with 52 renal tumors (42 RCCs, 10 AMLs). We obtain...
In the early 1950s, flow cytometry was developed as the first method for automated quantitative cellular analysis. In the early 1990s, the first equipment for image cytometry (laser scanning cytometry, LSC) became commercially available. As flow cyto...
Quantitative SPECT/CT is potentially useful for more accurate and reliable measurement of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) than conventional planar scintigraphy. However, manual drawing of a volume of interest (VOI) on renal parenchyma in CT images i...

With traditional beamforming methods, ultrasound B-mode images contain speckle noise caused by the random interference of subresolution scatterers. In this paper, we present a framework for using neural networks to beamform ultrasound channel signals...
A major challenge in the field of segmentation in digital pathology is given by the high effort for manual data annotations in combination with many sources introducing variability in the image domain. This requires methods that are able to cope with...
PURPOSE: A prospective study evaluating impact of percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) on renal function following PCNL using ethylenedicysteine (EC) renal scan. Does multiplicity of access tracts play a role?
Renal segmentation is one of the most fundamental and challenging task in computer aided diagnosis systems. In order to overcome the shortcomings of automatic kidney segmentation based on deep network for abdominal CT images, a two-stage semantic seg...
