Pioneering AI-guided fluorescence-like navigation in urological surgery: real-time ureter segmentation during robot-assisted radical cystectomy using convolutional neural network.

Journal of robotic surgery
Artificial intelligence (AI)-driven intraoperative navigation in urological surgery can enhance surgical precision through real-time structure identification and tracking. This study describes a novel AI solution that enables real-time fluorescence-l...

Quantitative analysis of ureteral jets with dynamic magnetic resonance imaging and a deep-learning approach.

Magnetic resonance imaging
OBJECTIVE: To develop dynamic MRU protocol that focuses on the bladder to capture ureteral jets and to automatically estimate frequency and duration of ureteral jets from the dynamic images.

Satisfactory Evaluation of Call Service Using AI After Ureteral Stent Insertion: Randomized Controlled Trial.

Journal of medical Internet research
BACKGROUND: Ureteral stents, such as double-J stents, have become indispensable in urologic procedures but are associated with complications like hematuria and pain. While the advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) technology has led to its incr...

CT-based deep learning model for predicting the success of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy in treating ureteral stones larger than 1 cm.

Urolithiasis
OBJECTIVES: To develop a deep learning (DL) model based on computed tomography (CT) images to predict the success of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (SWL) treatment for patients with ureteral stones larger than 1 cm.

Applying Deep-Learning Algorithm Interpreting Kidney, Ureter, and Bladder (KUB) X-Rays to Detect Colon Cancer.

Journal of imaging informatics in medicine
Early screening is crucial in reducing the mortality of colorectal cancer (CRC). Current screening methods, including fecal occult blood tests (FOBT) and colonoscopy, are primarily limited by low patient compliance and the invasive nature of the proc...

Deep-learning-based method for the segmentation of ureter and renal pelvis on non-enhanced CT scans.

Scientific reports
This study aimed to develop a deep-learning (DL) based method for three-dimensional (3D) segmentation of the upper urinary tract (UUT), including ureter and renal pelvis, on non-enhanced computed tomography (NECT) scans. A total of 150 NECT scans wit...

Deep Learning-Based Real-Time Ureter Identification in Laparoscopic Colorectal Surgery.

Diseases of the colon and rectum
BACKGROUND: Iatrogenic ureteral injury is a serious complication of abdominopelvic surgery. Identifying the ureters intraoperatively is essential to avoid iatrogenic ureteral injury. We developed a model that may minimize this complication.

Distinguishing the Uterine Artery, the Ureter, and Nerves in Laparoscopic Surgical Images Using Ensembles of Binary Semantic Segmentation Networks.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Performing a minimally invasive surgery comes with a significant advantage regarding rehabilitating the patient after the operation. But it also causes difficulties, mainly for the surgeon or expert who performs the surgical intervention, since only ...
