Multi-modality imaging review of congenital abnormalities of kidney and upper urinary tract

Transfer learning for diagnosis of congenital abnormalities of the kidney and urinary tract in children based on Ultrasound imaging data

Classification of ultrasound (US) kidney images for diagnosis of congenital abnormalities of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT) in children is a challenging task. It is desirable to improve existing pattern classification models that are built upon conventional image features. In this study, we propose a transfer learning-based method to extract imaging features from US kidney images in order...

Survey of polycystic kidney disease and other urinary tract abnormalities using ultrasonography in Persian and Persian related cats in Iran

Ultrasonography is an accurate and accessible method for detecting polycystic kidney disease (PKD), an inherited autosomal dominant disease, and other urinary tract diseases. The present work is a preliminary study of PKD and urinary tract abnormalities using ultrasonography in Persian and other long hair cats in Iran. This study was conducted on 83 cats including 68 Persian cats and 15 Persian...

Congenital Anomalies and Abnormalities of the Urinary Tract.

Congenital abnormalities and malformations are more frequent in the urinary tract than in any other system of the body, and it is an interesting and important fact that they are very commonly multiple. It is quite usual to find both kidneys and ureters involved, or to find bladder and penile deformities with faulty development of one or both kidneys and ureters. Many of them cause little or no ...

Criteria for HNF1B analysis in patients with congenital abnormalities of kidney and urinary tract.

BACKGROUND Congenital anomalies of kidneys and urinary tract (CAKUT) are the most predominant developmental disorders comprising ∼20-30% of all anomalies identified in the prenatal period. Mutations in hepatocyte nuclear factor 1-beta (HNF-1β) involved in the development of kidneys, liver, pancreas and urogenital tract are currently the most frequent monogenetic cause of CAKUT found in 10-30% o...
