BACKGROUND: Urolithiasis, particularly anhydrous uric acid stones (AUAs), imposes significant clinical and economic burdens. Accurate preoperative differentiation of AUAs from other stone types remains challenging, yet essential for personalized pati...
Urinary stones, one of the most common emergency conditions, traverse the ureter, urine flow is obstructed, resulting in hydronephrosis and severe pain. However, vessel wall calcifications or phleboliths are frequently observed in abdominal and pelvi...
PURPOSE: To assess the prevalence and associations of urinary stone morphologies, focusing on their relevance for Endoscopic Stone Recognition and improving AI-assisted ESR (AESR) systems.
The composition of urinary calculi serves as a critical determinant for personalized surgical strategies; however, such compositional data are often unavailable preoperatively. This study aims to develop a machine learning-based preoperative predicti...
To perform a systematic review on artificial intelligence (AI) performances to detect urinary stones. A PROSPERO-registered (CRD473152) systematic search of Scopus, Web of Science, Embase, and PubMed databases was performed to identify original res...
Preventative strategies and surgical treatments for urolithiasis depend on stone composition. However, stone composition is often unknown until the stone is passed or surgically managed. Given that stone composition likely reflects the physiological...
PURPOSE: Urolithiasis is a chronic condition that leads to repeated CT scans throughout the patient's life. The goal was to assess the diagnostic performance and image quality of submillisievert abdominopelvic computed tomography (CT) using deep lear...
OBJECTIVES: To determine the diagnostic accuracy and image quality of ultra-low-dose computed tomography (ULDCT) with deep learning reconstruction (DLR) to evaluate patients with suspected urolithiasis, compared with ULDCT with hybrid iterative recon...
BACKGROUND: Deep learning Computed Tomography (CT) reconstruction (DLR) algorithms promise to improve image quality but the impact on clinical diagnostic performance remains to be demonstrated. We aimed to compare DLR to standard iterative reconstruc...
