    Kidney Tumor Segmentation Using Two-Stage Bottleneck Block Architecture

    Fuat Turk1,*, Murat Luy2, Necaattin Barışçı3, Fikret Yalçınkaya4

    Intelligent Automation & Soft Computing, Vol.33, No.1, pp. 349-363, 2022, DOI:10.32604/iasc.2022.023710 - 05 January 2022

    Abstract Cases of kidney cancer have shown a rapid increase in recent years. Advanced technology has allowed bettering the existing treatment methods. Research on the subject is still continuing. Medical segmentation is also of increasing importance. In particular, deep learning-based studies are of great importance for accurate segmentation. Tumor detection is a relatively difficult procedure for soft tissue organs such as kidneys and the prostate. Kidney tumors, specifically, are a type of cancer with a higher incidence in older people. As age progresses, the importance of having diagnostic tests increases. In some cases, patients with kidney More >

    Canadian Journal of Urology, Vol.20, No.5, pp. 6944-6949, 2013

    Abstract Introduction: Stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy (SABR) is currently under study regarding its clinical application in management of patients with kidney tumors. CyberKnife can accurately deliver ablative tumor radiation doses while preserving kidney function. We report Canada's first use of CyberKnife SABR system in treating primary kidney tumors.
    Materials and methods: Between January 2011 and February 2012, we treated three patients with renal tumors using CyberKnife SABR. Two patients had tumors in solitary kidney. The third patient had a recurrent tumor after two previous radiofrequency ablation treatments. Platinum seed fiducials were used for real time tumor tracking. Magnetic… More >
