PURPOSE: To investigate the value of deep learning (DL) in T2-weighted imaging (T2) of the bladder regarding acquisition time (TA), image quality, and diagnostic confidence compared to standard T2-weighted turbo-spin-echo (TSE) imaging (T2).
INTRODUCTION: Overactive bladder (OAB) is a common urological condition with increasing prevalence, especially in an aging population. Diagnosing and treating OAB can be challenging. While urodynamic study (UDS) is useful to confirm involuntary detru...
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.
Bladder endoscopy enables the observation of intravesical lesion characteristics, making it an essential tool in urology. Image stitching techniques are commonly employed to expand the field of view of bladder endoscopy. Traditional image stitching m...
OBJECTIVES: To automatically identify and diagnose bladder outflow obstruction (BOO) and detrusor underactivity (DUA) in male patients with lower urinary tract symptoms through urodynamics exam.
The development of noninvasive methods for bladder cancer identification remains a critical clinical need. Recent studies have shown that atomic force microscopy (AFM), combined with pattern recognition machine learning, can detect bladder cancer by ...
OBJECTIVE: To construct a predictive model using deep-learning radiomics and clinical risk factors for assessing the preoperative histopathological grade of bladder cancer according to computed tomography (CT) images.
