We compared postoperative renal function impairment between patients undergoing robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) and those undergoing open partial nephrectomy (OPN) by using Tc-99m diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA) renal scintigraphy...
OBJECTIVE: To assess the clinical practicability of the ensemble learning model established by Liu et al. in estimating glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and validate whether it is a better model than the Asian modified Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemio...
The long-term split renal function after robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) is yet to be elucidated. This study aimed to assess long-term renal function of RAPN, using renal scintigraphy, and to identify clinical factors related to deteriorat...
This study aimed to evaluate a deep learning-based attenuation correction (AC) method to generate pseudo-computed tomography (CT) images from non-AC single-photon emission computed tomography images (SPECT) for AC in Tc-galactosyl human albumin dieth...
BACKGROUND: Previous studies have indicated that creatinine (Cr)-based glomerular filtration rate (GFR) estimating equations - including the new Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology creatinine (CKD-EPI) equation without race and the estimated glomerul...
INTRODUCTION: Attenuation correction (AC) is necessary for accurate assessment of radioactive distribution in single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). The method of computed tomography-based AC (CTAC) is widely used because of its accuracy...
