Objective The objective of this prospective study was to determine the feasibility of sentinel
lymph node (SLN) detection in patients with cervical cancer using lymphoscintigraphy (LS) …

Methods The 18–20th min dynamic frames post-MAG3 injection were used to automatically
define boxes surrounding each kidney, which were then transposed to an early composite …

Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is a common accepted standard estimation of renal function.
Gamma camera-based methods for estimating renal uptake of 99m Tc …

The aim of the present study is to evaluate the intra-and inter-observer agreement in
assessing the renal function by means of 99mTc-MAG3 diuretic renography. One hundred …

Accurate segmentation of kidney contours in diuretic renography has important implications
for clinical diagnosis and treatments. However, the lack of clear boundaries and high-quality …

Purpose This work presents a novel semi-automated renal region-of-interest (ROI)
determination method that is user friendly, time saving, and yet provides a robust glomerular …

Results: The success rate (complete removal of the stone) was 92.8%, 73.4%, and 80.9% for
solitary, multiple and staghorn stones, respectively. Severe bleeding occurred in …

Background: Paraneoplastic effects are some of the major side effects of advanced renal cell
carcinoma (RCC). Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) is known as a powerful tool to …

The glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is a crucial index to measure renal function. In daily
clinical practice, the GFR can be estimated using the Gates method, which requires the …

Objective Accurate delineation of renal regions of interest (ROIs) is critical for the
assessment of renal function in pediatric dynamic renal scintigraphy (DRS). The purpose of …
