Diagnosing ureteral stones with low-dose CT in patients with metal hardware can be challenging because of image noise. The purpose of this study was to compare ureteral stone detection and image quality of low-dose and conventional CT scans with and...
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.
Urinary tract stones are a common and frequently recurring medical issue. Accurately predicting the success rate after surgery can help avoid ineffective medical procedures and reduce unnecessary healthcare costs. This study collected data from patie...
PURPOSE: To establish a prediction model for repeated shockwave lithotripsy (SWL) efficacy to help choose an appropriate treatment plan for patients with a single failed lithotripsy, reducing their treatment burden.
INTRODUCTION: Among upper urinary tract stones, a significant proportion comprises uric acid stones. The aim of this study was to use machine learning techniques to analyze CT scans and blood and urine test data, with the aim of establishing multiple...
PURPOSE: Identifying factors predicting the spontaneous passage of distal ureteral stones and evaluating the effectiveness of artificial intelligence in prediction.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the image enhancement model based on deep learning on the effect of ureteroscopy with double J tube placement and drainage on ureteral stones during pregnancy. We compare the clinical effect of ureteroscopy with double J tube pl...
BACKGROUND: The aims of this study were to determine the predictive value of decision support analysis for the shock wave lithotripsy (SWL) success rate and to analyze the data obtained from patients who underwent SWL to assess the factors influencin...
