3D Kidneys and Kidney Tumor Semantic Segmentation using Boundary-Aware Networks [PDF]
Automated segmentation of kidneys and kidney tumors is an important step in quantifying the tumor's morphometrical details to monitor the progression of the disease and accurately compare decisions regarding the kidney tumor treatment. Manual delineation techniques are often tedious, error-prone and require expert knowledge for creating unambiguous ...

End-to-End Cascaded U-Nets with a Localization Network for Kidney Tumor Segmentation [PDF]
Kidney tumor segmentation emerges as a new frontier of computer vision in medical imaging. This is partly due to its challenging manual annotation and great medical impact. Within the scope of the Kidney Tumor Segmentation Challenge 2019, that is aiming at combined kidney and tumor segmentation, this work proposes a novel combination of 3D U-Nets ...

Prediction of Kidney Function from Biopsy Images Using Convolutional Neural Networks [PDF]
A Convolutional Neural Network was used to predict kidney function in patients with chronic kidney disease from high-resolution digital pathology scans of their kidney biopsies. Kidney biopsies were taken from participants of the NEPTUNE study, a longitudinal cohort study whose goal is to set up infrastructure for observing the evolution of 3 forms of ...

Ensembled Autoencoder Regularization for Multi-Structure Segmentation for Kidney Cancer Treatment [PDF]
The kidney cancer is one of the most common cancer types. The treatment frequently include surgical intervention. However, surgery is in this case particularly challenging due to regional anatomical relations. Organ delineation can significantly improve surgical planning and execution.
