A dynamic graph-cuts method with integrated multiple feature maps for segmenting kidneys in ultrasound images [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 Purpose: To improve kidney segmentation in clinical ultrasound (US) images, we develop a new graph cuts based method to segment kidney US images by integrating original image intensity information and texture feature maps extracted using Gabor filters.

Extracting Three Dimensional Surface Model of Human Kidney from the Visible Human Data Set using Free Software [PDF]
Leonardo Electronic Journal of Practices and Technologies (LEJPT),
Issue 20 (January-June), 2012 (11), p. 115-126 [ISSN: 1583-1078], 2013 Three dimensional digital model of a representative human kidney is needed for a surgical simulator that is capable of simulating a laparoscopic surgery involving kidney. Buying a three dimensional computer model of a representative human kidney, or reconstructing a human kidney from an image sequence using commercial software, both involve (sometimes ...

Semi-Automatic Segmentation of Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidneys using Random Forests [PDF]
arXiv, 2015 This paper presents a method for 3D segmentation of kidneys from patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) and severe renal insufficiency, using computed tomography (CT) data. ADPKD severely alters the shape of the kidneys due to non-uniform formation of cysts.

Pan African Medical Journal, 2018 A 21-year-old male presented with a one day history of right flank pain and signs of severe sepsis. The recorded vital signs included a temperature of 39.9° Celsius, blood pressure of 95/65 mmHg and heart rate of 165. The laboratory investigations confirmed a raised C-reactive protein (CRP) of 485 mg/l but it was interesting to note thatthe white cell ...

Automatic Renal Segmentation in DCE-MRI using Convolutional Neural Networks [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 Kidney function evaluation using dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) images could help in diagnosis and treatment of kidney diseases of children. Automatic segmentation of renal parenchyma is an important step in this process. In this paper, we propose a time and memory efficient fully automated segmentation method which achieves high segmentation ...

Enhancing kidney quality assessment: Power Doppler during normothermic machine perfusion [PDF]
Artif Organs. Published online March 12, 2025Objectives: Marginal donor kidneys are increasingly used for transplantation to overcome organ shortage. This study aims to investigate the additional value of Power Doppler (PD) imaging in kidney quality assessment during normothermic machine perfusion (NMP).

Proceedings of the Association of Clinical Biochemists, 1959 The use of the artificial kidney is entirely safe, and when used as an adjunct to the dietary regime of patients with acute reversible renal failure it can be life-saving in some instances. The patients who fall into the moderate group usually require a dialysis 7–10 days after the onset of renal failure.
