Sound-based uroflowmetry is a non-invasive test emerging as an alternative to standard uroflowmetry, estimating voiding characteristics from the sound generated by urine striking water in a toilet bowl. The lack of labeled flow sound datasets limits ...
PURPOSE: Urine cytology, while valuable in facilitating the detection and surveillance of bladder cancer, has notable limitations. The application of artificial intelligence (AI) in urine cytology holds significant promise for improving diagnostic ac...
PURPOSE: In Taiwan, the incidence of urothelial carcinoma of the upper urinary tract (UTUC) is high and intravesical recurrence is approximately 22%-47%. Thus, postoperative cystoscopy and urine cytology follow-up, which require experienced cytologis...
BACKGROUND: Urogenital schistosomiasis is considered a Neglected Tropical Disease (NTD) by the World Health Organization (WHO). It is estimated to affect 150 million people worldwide, with a high relevance in resource-poor settings of the African con...
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are pervasive and prevalent in both community and hospital settings. Recent trends in the changes of the causative microorganisms in these infections could affect the effectiveness of urinalysis (UA). We aimed to evalu...
BACKGROUND: This study evaluated the diagnostic effectiveness of the AIxURO platform, an artificial intelligence-based tool, to support urine cytology for bladder cancer management, which typically requires experienced cytopathologists and substantia...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: We aimed to develop an easily deployable artificial intelligence (AI)-driven model for rapid prediction of urine culture test results.
INTRODUCTION: Digitizing cytology slides presents challenges because of their three-dimensional features and uneven cell distribution. While multi-Z-plane scan is a prevalent solution, its adoption in clinical digital cytopathology is hindered by pro...
Urinary cytology using the Paris system is still the method of choice for screening high-grade urothelial carcinomas. However, the use of the objective criteria described in this terminology shows a lack of inter- and intra-observer reproducibility. ...
BACKGROUND: Urine cytology is commonly used as a screening test for high-grade urothelial carcinoma for patients with risk factors or hematuria and is an essential step in longitudinal monitoring of patients with previous bladder cancer history. Howe...
