Calculation of Renal, Cortex and Medulla Volumes using Semi Automated Method

Abstract

It is assume that renal volume with cortex and medulla volumes are related with recovery of the kidney after transplantation. In this study it is aim that a semi automated method is developed for renal volumes. Theise volumes can be obtaine with some tools in the developed interface. We used 10 kidneys of 5 donors in this study. The first outputs of the method were compared to the tuned ones and it is found that the first outputs are very close to the corrected contours. Volume error rates were obtained as 0.62 +/- 0.01 for total renal volume, 1.26%+/- 0.01 for cortex volume and 1.23%+/- 0.01 for medulla volume.
