Machine learning analysis of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) for the diagnosis of acute graft dysfunction in kidney transplant recipients.

Medical ultrasonography
AIM: The aim of the study was to develop machine learning algorithms (MLA) for diagnosing acute graft dysfunction (AGD) in kidney transplant recipients based on contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) analysis of the graft.Materials and methods: This pro...

Prediction of post-donation renal function using machine learning techniques and conventional regression models in living kidney donors.

Journal of nephrology
BACKGROUND: Accurate prediction of renal function following kidney donation and careful selection of living donors are essential for living-kidney donation programs. We aimed to develop a prediction model for post-donation renal function following li...

Multi-parametric MRI-based machine learning model for prediction of pathological grade of renal injury in a rat kidney cold ischemia-reperfusion injury model.

BMC medical imaging
BACKGROUND: Renal cold ischemia-reperfusion injury (CIRI), a pathological process during kidney transplantation, may result in delayed graft function and negatively impact graft survival and function. There is a lack of an accurate and non-invasive t...

Three-dimensional convolutional neural network-based classification of chronic kidney disease severity using kidney MRI.

Scientific reports
A three-dimensional convolutional neural network model was developed to classify the severity of chronic kidney disease (CKD) using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) Dixon-based T1-weighted in-phase (IP)/opposed-phase (OP)/water-only (WO) imaging. Sev...

Deep learning-enabled classification of kidney allograft rejection on whole slide histopathologic images.

Frontiers in immunology
BACKGROUND: Diagnosis of kidney transplant rejection currently relies on manual histopathological assessment, which is subjective and susceptible to inter-observer variability, leading to limited reproducibility. We aim to develop a deep learning sys...

Predicting renal damage in children with IgA vasculitis by machine learning.

Pediatric nephrology (Berlin, Germany)
BACKGROUND: Children with IgA Vasculitis (IgAV) may develop renal complications, which can impact their long-term prognosis. This study aimed to build a machine learning model to predict renal damage in children with IgAV and analyze risk factors for...

Contrastive Learning vs. Self-Learning vs. Deformable Data Augmentation in Semantic Segmentation of Medical Images.

Journal of imaging informatics in medicine
To develop a robust segmentation model, encoding the underlying features/structures of the input data is essential to discriminate the target structure from the background. To enrich the extracted feature maps, contrastive learning and self-learning ...

First experiences with machine learning predictions of accelerated declining eGFR slope of living kidney donors 3 years after donation.

Journal of nephrology
BACKGROUND: Living kidney donors are screened pre-donation to estimate the risk of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). We evaluate Machine Learning (ML) to predict the progression of kidney function deterioration over time using the estimated GFR (eGFR)...

Development of Convolutional Neural Network to Segment Ultrasound Images of Histotripsy Ablation.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
OBJECTIVE: Histotripsy is a focused ultrasound therapy that ablates tissue via the action of bubble clouds. It is under investigation to treat a number of ailments, including renal tumors. Ultrasound imaging is used to monitor histotripsy, though the...
