BACKGROUND: Patients with urolithiasis undergo radiation overexposure from computed tomography (CT) scans. Improvement of image reconstruction is necessary for radiation dose reduction.
BACKGROUND: Recent increased use of medical images induces further burden of their interpretation for physicians. A plain X-ray is a low-cost examination that has low-dose radiation exposure and high availability, although diagnosing urolithiasis usi...

In small animal practice, patients often present with urinary lithiasis, and prediction of urolith composition is essential to determine the appropriate treatment. Through abdominal radiographs, the composition of mineral radiopaque uroliths can be d...
Patients after holmium laser lithotripsy have a certain probability of getting postoperative infection. An early and accurate diagnosis of postoperative infection allows a timely administration of appropriate antibiotic treatment. However, doctors ca...
OBJECTIVES: Urinary stones composed of uric acid can be treated with medicine. Computed tomography (CT) can diagnose urinary stone disease, but it is difficult to predict the type of uric stones. This study aims to develop a method to distinguish pur...
Noncontrast CT (NCCT) relies on labor-intensive examinations of CT slices to identify urolithiasis in the urinary tract, and, despite the use of deep-learning algorithms, false positives remain. A total of 410 NCCT axial scans from patients undergo...
