Digital pathology is one of the most significant developments in modern medicine. Pathological examinations are the gold standard of medical protocols and play a fundamental role in diagnosis. Recently, with the advent of digital scanners,…

Accurate delineation of kidney tumours in Computed Tomography (CT) is essential for downstream quantitative analysis and precision oncology, but manual segmentation is a specialised task, time-consuming and difficult to scale. Automated 3D…

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a gradual loss of renal function over time, and it increases the risk of mortality, decreased quality of life, as well as serious complications. The prevalence of CKD has been increasing in the last couple of…

Spleen volumetry is primarily associated with patients suffering from chronic liver disease and portal hypertension, as they often have spleens with abnormal shapes and sizes. However, manually segmenting the spleen to obtain its volume is…

With Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) potentially leading to fatal complications in patients due to the formation of cysts in kidneys, early detection of PKD is crucial for effective management of the condition. However, the various…

Panoramic image segmentation in computational pathology presents a remarkable challenge due to the morphologically complex and variably scaled anatomy. For instance, the intricate organization in kidney pathology spans multiple layers, from…

Moving from animal models to human applications in preclinical research encompasses a broad spectrum of disciplines in medical science. A fundamental element in the development of new drugs, treatments, diagnostic methods, and in deepening…

Patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) are at high risk of developing chronic kidney disease (CKD), but identifying those at greatest risk remains challenging. We used electronic health record (EHR) data to dynamically track AKI patients'…

The Center for Disease Control estimates that over 37 million US adults suffer from chronic kidney disease (CKD), yet 9 out of 10 of these individuals are unaware of their condition due to the absence of symptoms in the early stages. It has…

It remains challenging to automatically segment kidneys in clinical ultrasound (US) images due to the kidneys' varied shapes and image intensity distributions, although semi-automatic methods have achieved promising performance. In this…

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease affecting about 1% of people over the age of 60, causing motor impairments that impede hand coordination activities such as writing and drawing. Many approaches have tried to support…

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…

Each year, there are about 400'000 new cases of kidney cancer worldwide causing around 175'000 deaths. For clinical decision making it is important to understand the morphometry of the tumor, which involves the time-consuming task of…

Semantic image segmentation plays an important role in modeling patient-specific anatomy. We propose a convolution neural network, called Kid-Net, along with a training schema to segment kidney vessels: artery, vein and collecting system.…

Spine-related diseases have high morbidity and cause a huge burden of social cost. Spine imaging is an essential tool for noninvasively visualizing and assessing spinal pathology. Segmenting vertebrae in computed tomography (CT) images is…

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has a poor prognosis due to excessive risk factors and comorbidities associated with it. The early detection of CKD faces challenges of insufficient medical histories of positive patients and complicated risk…

Accurate segmentation of kidneys and kidney tumors is an essential step for radiomic analysis as well as developing advanced surgical planning techniques. In clinical analysis, the segmentation is currently performed by clinicians from the…

Areas where Artificial Intelligence (AI) & related fields are finding their applications are increasing day by day, moving from core areas of computer science they are finding their applications in various other domains.In recent times…

The thrombotic microangiopathies (TMAs) manifest in renal biopsy histology with a broad spectrum of acute and chronic findings. Precise diagnostic criteria for a renal biopsy diagnosis of TMA are missing. As a first step towards a machine…

A large number of different lesions and pathologies can affect the human digestive system, resulting in life-threatening situations. Early detection plays a relevant role in the successful treatment and the increase of current survival…
