Radiomics application using non-contrast computed tomography for predicting uric acid kidney stones
Uro Imaging 5 min.
Urolithiasis is a global disease with high incidence and recurrence rates. The main components of stones include uric acid, cystine, calcium oxalate, etc., with uric acid stones accounting for 10–15% of all urolithiasis cases [1, 2–3]. Knowing the stone composition before treatment is clinically...
An interpretable contrast-enhanced CT radiomics–based pipeline incorporating automatic segmentation for predicting ISUP grade group in ccRCC
Uro Imaging 6 min.
The global incidence of renal cell carcinoma continues to rise [1]. Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), the most prevalent subtype, accounts for over 75% of all RCC cases. ccRCC is often associated with poor prognosis and high mortality rates [2, 3–4]. International Society of Urological Pathology...
First detection of echovirus 18 associated with aseptic meningitis in a child in Niger Republic, 2024: a case report
Uro Imaging 3 min.
Meningitis is a devastating disease with a high case fatality rate due to the inflammation of the meninges [1]. It can affect people of all ages and young children, people with weak immunity, such as those undergoing chemotherapy, those with chronic illnesses, and elderly individuals, are high-risk groups...
Ensemble deep learning model for accurate assessment of renal fibrosis in chronic kidney disease using two-dimensional shear wave elastography images
Uro Imaging 4 min.
Renal fibrosis (RF) is a significant risk factor for poor prognosis in chronic kidney disease (CKD) [1, 2]. Accurate assessment of RF is crucial for the diagnosis and management of CKD. Renal biopsy remains the gold standard for diagnosing RF, but it is an invasive procedure associated with risks such...
Collagen-targeted tracers for molecular imaging of atrial fibrosis and sensitive detection of atrial fibrillation
Uro Imaging 9 min.
Cardiac arrhythmias have reached epidemic levels around the globe1. In particular, hospitalisation due to atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common cardiac arrhythmia, has almost doubled over the past 30 years and its burden has surpassed other cardiovascular conditions, such as myocardial infarction...
