Fully Automated Segmentation of Polycystic Kidneys From Noncontrast Computed Tomography: A Feasibility Study and Preliminary Results

ConclusionsThis preliminary study showed the proposed fully automated method for renal volume assessment is feasible, exhibiting how a correct use of biomedical image processing may allow polycystic kidney segmentation also in non–contrast-enhanced CT. Further investigation on a larger dataset is needed to confirm the robustness of the presented approach.
