Introduction. Kidney length has traditionally been used as a predictor of chronic kidney
disease (CKD); however, kidney volume (KV) rather than length has been emphasized by …

PURPOSE: To evaluate the relationship between renal cortical volume, measured by an
automatic contouring software, with body mass index (BMI), age and renal function …

OBJECTIVE: Subarachnoid clots play an important role in development of delayed
vasospasm after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). The purpose of this study was to …

BACKGROUND: Kidney size is important for clinical assessment of kidney disease. This
study was performed to determine the usefulness of radiologic methods for predicting direct …

Sonography is an important imaging technique in the evaluation of patients who have had
renal transplantation. Sonographic examination can detect many of the potential urologic …

The gold standard to assess renal function is the measurement of glomerular filtration rate
(GFR). For practical reasons, renal function is often evaluated from serum creatinine (S Cr) …

Bowel rest, nasogastric (NG) decompression, and intravenous hydration are used to treat
small bowel obstruction (SBO) conservatively; however, there are no data to support …

The present study sought to establish a standard in vivo imaging procedure for mouse
kidney anatomy evaluation using contrast‐enhanced high‐resolution X‐ray …

Renal volume has the potential to serve as a robust biomarker for tracking the onset and
progression of renal diseases and also for quantifying renal function. We propose a method …

Purpose To evaluate oncologic outcomes and graft viability after percutaneous
radiofrequency (RF) ablation of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) developing within renal …
