Current methods to assess CKD (e.g. serum creatinine, albuminuria and ultrasound) are insensitive to early kidney damage, do not usually provide insight into the aetiology of underlying kidney disease and do not reliably allow individual patient stratification in terms of prognosis or therapy decisions.

2023年5月12日 · Kidney length and volume can be measured with anatomical MR images, typically T 2-weighted scans to measure total kidney volume (TKV) 4, 5 and T 1-weighted scans for segmentation of the cortex and medulla. 5 TKV is a key prognostic measure in persons with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) but may also be important in ...

Standard radiological imaging is generally used for the diagnosis of fracture or pseudo-fractures, vascular calcifications and other features of CKD-MBD. However, bone fractures can also be diagnosed using computed tomography (CT) scan, magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and vertebral fracture assessment (VFA).

2023年4月13日 · We cover imaging for hemodialysis access, maturation criteria, and assessment of complications, including those of peritoneal dialysis. Because kidney failure affects more than just the kidneys, commonly encountered systemic manifestations involving the musculoskeletal, neurologic, and cardiothoracic systems are also reviewed.

2024年10月1日 · CKD, particularly in its advanced stages, is associated with various structural and functional cardiovascular abnormalities that can interfere with normal cardiac electrophysiology.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) diagnosis and staging are based on estimated or calculated glomerular filtration rate (GFR), urinalysis and kidney structure at renal imaging techniques. Ultrasound (US) has a key role in evaluating both morphological changes (by means of B-Mode) and patterns of vascular …

2024年10月7日 · To address challenges in screening for chronic kidney disease (CKD), we devised a deep learning-based CKD screening model named UWF-CKDS. It utilizes ultra-wide-field (UWF) fundus images to...

2021年4月26日 · Standard radiological imaging is generally used for the diagnosis of fracture or pseudo-fractures, vascular calcifications and other features of CKD-MBD. However, bone fractures can also be diagnosed using computed tomography (CT) scan, magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and vertebral fracture assessment (VFA).

Intravoxel incoherent motion diffusion-weighted imaging (IVIM-DWI) can assess both capillary perfusion and tissue diffusion and may be helpful in evaluating renal function and pathology. Purpose: To evaluate functional and pathological alterations in CKD by applying IVIM-DWI. Study type: Prospective study.

2023年11月1日 · mDIXON-Quant and APTw imaging were explored to access renal function in CKD. APT, FF and R2* values showed significant differences among healthy controls and patients with different degrees of CKD. The combination of APT, R2 ⁎, and FF values showed good diagnostic efficacy in evaluating different degrees of renal damage.
