We present a method based on the morphological 3D h-maxima transform to segment the kidneys in image volumes obtained by magnetic resonance imaging after injection of a contrast agent. Manual cropping ...

THE ever-increasing number of case reports of renal complications in sulfonamide drug therapy indicates that neither the mechanism of their production nor the means of preventing them is yet unders ...

A laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA–ICP–MS)-based methodology is presented for Pt, Cu, and Zn bioimaging on whole kidney 3 μm sagittal sections from rats treated with ...

RATIONALE Cortical renal imaging has a high diagnostic sensitivity (>90%) for detecting renal cortical defects. Blood is filtered within the kidney nephrons, specifically the glomerulus of the nephron ...

Each consists of an outer renal cortex and an inner renal medulla. Nephrons flow between these sections. Each nephron includes a filter, called the glomerulus, and a tubule.
