The automatic segmentation of kidney, kidney tumor and kidney cyst on Computed Tomography (CT) scans is a challenging task due to the indistinct lesion boundaries and fuzzy texture. Considering the large range and unbalanced distribution of…
Recent advances in organoid models have revolutionized the study of human kidney disease mechanisms and drug discovery by enabling scalable, cost-effective research without the need for animal sacrifice. Here, we present a kidney organoid…
Kidney stone disease poses a major burden to patients and healthcare systems around the world. The formation of kidney stones may occur over months or years, but many patients are diagnosed at a late stage, suffer excruciating pain, and…
Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD), a progressive disease with high morbidity and mortality, has become a significant global public health problem. Most existing models are static and fail to capture temporal trends in disease…
Numerous studies have affirmed that deep learning models can facilitate early diagnosis of lesions in endoscopic images. However, the lack of available datasets stymies advancements in research on nasal endoscopy, and existing models fail…
Cell nuclei instance segmentation is a crucial task in digital kidney pathology. Traditional automatic segmentation methods often lack generalizability when applied to unseen datasets. Recently, the success of foundation models (FMs) has…
Lesion detection is an important problem within medical imaging analysis. Most previous work focuses on detecting and segmenting a specialized category of lesions (e.g., lung nodules). However, in clinical practice, radiologists are…
The availability of large public datasets and the increased amount of computing power have shifted the interest of the medical community to high-performance algorithms. However, little attention is paid to the quality of the data and their…
Abdominal computed tomography (CT) scans are frequently performed in clinical settings. Opportunistic CT involves repurposing routine CT images to extract diagnostic information and is an emerging tool for detecting underdiagnosed…
Data cleaning consumes about 80% of the time spent on data analysis for clinical research projects. This is a much bigger problem in the era of big data and machine learning in the field of medicine where large volumes of data are being…
Leveraging health administrative data (HAD) datasets for predicting the risk of chronic diseases including diabetes has gained a lot of attention in the machine learning community recently. In this paper, we use the largest health records…
Kidney cancer is a severe disease which can be treated non-invasively using high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) therapy. However, tissue in front of the transducer and the deep location of kidney can cause significant losses to the…
Ultrasound perception typically requires multiple scan views through probe movement to reduce diagnostic ambiguity, mitigate acoustic occlusions, and improve anatomical coverage. However, not all probe views are equally informative.…
Fundus diseases are major causes of visual impairment and blindness worldwide, especially in underdeveloped regions, where the shortage of ophthalmologists hinders timely diagnosis. AI-assisted fundus image analysis has several advantages,…
Hysteroscopy enables direct visualization of morphological changes in the endometrium, serving as an important means for screening, diagnosing, and treating intrauterine lesions. Accurate identification of the benign or malignant nature of…
During the last decades, the number of new full-reference image quality assessment algorithms has been increasing drastically. Yet, despite of the remarkable progress that has been made, the medical ultrasound image similarity measurement…
Many eye diseases like Diabetic Macular Edema (DME), Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD), and Glaucoma manifest in the retina, can cause irreversible blindness or severely impair the central version. The Optical Coherence Tomography…
Application of machine learning techniques enables segmentation of functional tissue units in histology whole-slide images (WSIs). We built a pipeline to apply previously validated segmentation models of kidney structures and extract…
The segmentation of kidney stones is regarded as a critical preliminary step to enable the identification of urinary stone types through machine- or deep-learning-based approaches. In urology, manual segmentation is considered tedious and…
While previous studies have demonstrated the potential of AI to diagnose diseases in imaging data, clinical implementation is still lagging behind. This is partly because AI models require training with large numbers of examples only…
