Organ Location Determination and Contour Sparse Representation for Multiorgan Segmentation.

IEEE journal of biomedical and health informatics
Organ segmentation on computed tomography (CT) images is of great importance in medical diagnoses and treatment. This paper proposes organ location determination and contour sparse representation methods (OLD-CSR) for multiorgan segmentation (liver, ...

Automatic Segmentation of Kidneys using Deep Learning for Total Kidney Volume Quantification in Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease.

Scientific reports
Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD) is the most common inherited disorder of the kidneys. It is characterized by enlargement of the kidneys caused by progressive development of renal cysts, and thus assessment of total kidney volume ...

Respiratory motion prediction and prospective correction for free-breathing arterial spin-labeled perfusion MRI of the kidneys.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Respiratory motion prediction using an artificial neural network (ANN) was integrated with pseudocontinuous arterial spin labeling (pCASL) MRI to allow free-breathing perfusion measurements in the kidney. In this study, we evaluated the perf...

Prospective Study to Assess Progression of Renal Markers after Interruption of Tenofovir due to Nephrotoxicity.

BioMed research international
. Prospective studies about the reversibility of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate- (TDF-) related renal impairment remain scarce. . This is an observational prospective study including all patients that presented at our HIV Unit who interrupted TDF owin...

Automatic abdominal multi-organ segmentation using deep convolutional neural network and time-implicit level sets.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: Multi-organ segmentation from CT images is an essential step for computer-aided diagnosis and surgery planning. However, manual delineation of the organs by radiologists is tedious, time-consuming and poorly reproducible. Therefore, we propo...

A novel 4-DOF surgical instrument with modular joints and 6-Axis Force sensing capability.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: It is difficult for surgeons to exert appropriate forces during delicate operations due to lack of force feedback in robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery (RMIS). A 4-DOF surgical grasper with a modular wrist and 6-axis force sensing ...

Tumor diameter accurately predicts perioperative outcomes in T1 renal cancer treated with robot-assisted partial nephrectomy.

World journal of urology
PURPOSE: To compare diameter as a continuous variable with categorical R.E.N.A.L. nephrometry score (RNS) in predicting surgical outcomes of robotic partial nephrectomy (RPN).
