Kidney abnormality segmentation in thorax-abdomen CT scans [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 In this study, we introduce a deep learning approach for segmenting kidney parenchyma and kidney abnormalities to support clinicians in identifying and quantifying renal abnormalities such as cysts, lesions, masses, metastases, and primary tumors. Our end-to-end segmentation method was trained on 215 contrast-enhanced thoracic-abdominal CT scans, with ...

Multi-class motion-based semantic segmentation for ureteroscopy and laser lithotripsy [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Kidney stones represent a considerable burden for public health-care systems. Ureteroscopy with laser lithotripsy has evolved as the most commonly used technique for the treatment of kidney stones. Automated segmentation of kidney stones and laser fiber is an important initial step to performing any automated quantitative analysis of the stones ...
