Exploit fully automatic low-level segmented PET data for training high-level deep learning algorithms for the corresponding CT data [PDF]
We present an approach for fully automatic urinary bladder segmentation in CT images with artificial neural networks in this study. Automatic medical image analysis has become an invaluable tool in the different treatment stages of diseases. Especially medical image segmentation plays a vital role, since segmentation is often the initial step in an ...

Estimation of urinary stone composition by automated processing of CT images [PDF]
The objective of this article was developing an automated tool for routine clinical practice to estimate urinary stone composition from CT images based on the density of all constituent voxels. A total of 118 stones for which the composition had been determined by infrared spectroscopy were placed in a helical CT scanner.

A Lumen Segmentation Method in Ureteroscopy Images based on a Deep Residual U-Net architecture [PDF]
Ureteroscopy is becoming the first surgical treatment option for the majority of urinary affections. This procedure is performed using an endoscope which provides the surgeon with the visual information necessary to navigate inside the urinary tract. Having in mind the development of surgical assistance systems, that could enhance the performance of ...

Pathological Analysis of Stress Urinary Incontinence in Females using Artificial Neural Networks [PDF]
Objectives: To mathematically investigate urethral pressure and influencing parameters of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in women, with focus on the clinical aspects of the mathematical modeling. Method: Several patients' data are extracted from UPP and urodynamic documents and their relation and affinities are modeled using an artificial neural ...

A Data-Driven Memory-Dependent Modeling Framework for Anomalous Rheology: Application to Urinary Bladder Tissue [PDF]
We introduce a data-driven fractional modeling framework aimed at complex materials, and particularly bio-tissues. From multi-step relaxation experiments of distinct anatomical locations of porcine urinary bladder, we identify an anomalous relaxation character, with two power-law-like behaviors for short/long long times, and nonlinearity for strains ...

A Design Space Exploration (DSE) on Non-Invasive Sensing of Bladder Filling Using Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) [PDF]
Urinary Incontinence (UI) is a widespread medical condition that affects one person from every three or four Americans. Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) is a non-invasive under-study method for bladder filling sensation that can enhance the life quality of UI patients by finding the optimal voiding time.

NIRS Based Bladder Volume Sensing for Patients Suffering with Neurogenic Bladder Dysfunction [PDF]
Neurogenic Bladder Dysfunction has detrimental effects on day-to-day life of millions of people. Some of the most common symptoms faced by these patients include urinary incontinence, urgency and retention. Since elevated bladder pressure due to prolonged urine storage inside bladder may have adverse impacts on patient's renal health, urologists ...

An overview of urinary incontinence [PDF]
Practice nurses need to find out about all the different types of urinary incontinence and how they can be treated, before they can offer help to patients showing symptoms, writes Alison Bardsley Urinary incontinence is a common problem that is often under-reported due to the embarrassing nature and social stigma attached.
