Fully Automated Segmentation of Renal, Cortex and Medulla

Abstract

It is assume that volumes of cortex and medulla are related with recovery of the kidney after transplantation. In this work, a fully automated segmentation and volume calculation method is proposed for determining renal volumes. 10 kidneys of 5 donors are used as a dataset. When the output volumes of the proposed system were compared to the golden standarts, Volume error rates are obtained as %3,97±0,02for total renal volume, %8,71±0,06 for cortex volume and %20,13±0,2 for medulla volume.
