Computation of Total Kidney Volume from CT images in Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease using Multi-Task 3D Convolutional Neural Networks [PDF]
Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD) characterized by progressive growth of renal cysts is the most prevalent and potentially lethal monogenic renal disease, affecting one in every 500-100 people. Total Kidney Volume (TKV) and its growth computed from Computed Tomography images has been accepted as an essential prognostic marker for ...

Lightweight Framework for Automated Kidney Stone Detection using coronal CT images [PDF]
Kidney stone disease results in millions of annual visits to emergency departments in the United States. Computed tomography (CT) scans serve as the standard imaging modality for efficient detection of kidney stones. Various approaches utilizing convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have been proposed to implement automatic diagnosis of kidney stones ...

Structural and molecular basis of the assembly of the TRPP2/PKD1 complex [PDF]
Mutations in PKD1 and TRPP2 account for nearly all cases of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). These 2 proteins form a receptor/ion channel complex on the cell surface. Using a combination of biochemistry, crystallography, and a single-
