- In a research presentation from Andrei Cumpanas, significant strides are shown in using artificial intelligence to accurately determine renal stone volume. Traditional linear measurements prove inaccurate due to stones' irregular shapes, leading the team to train an AI neural network for kidney segmentation and CT-based stone volume calculation. Cumpanas reports an impressive advancement in the ac...

- Kelvin Vo details the outcomes of 43 patients with resonance stents placed for benign ureteral obstructions. The study's goal is to seek the long-term impact of chronic resonance stent placement on renal function. They determined this using serum creatinine levels, estimated glomerular filtration rates, Lasix renal scans, and CT-based renal parenchymal volume measurements. Durability was measured...
