Imaging Studies I: Kidney, Ureter, and Bladder Studies

246
Kidney, Ureter, and Bladder (KUB) StudiesKidney, Ureter, and Bladder (KUB) studies are standard diagnostic imaging procedures used to assess the anatomy of the urinary system. They are commonly utilized for patients experiencing abdominal pain or urinary symptoms. By using a simple X-ray of the abdomen, KUB studies can reveal structural and pathological abnormalities within the kidneys, ureters, and bladder. These studies are particularly valuable in diagnosing kidney stones, urinary...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Artificial Intelligence in Medicine
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Kidney tumors, including renal cell carcinoma (RCC), pose significant health risks, with late diagnosis leading to severe outcomes.
  • Current diagnostic methods for kidney tumors suffer from human error, variability, and delays, highlighting the need for automated solutions.
  • Early and accurate detection of kidney tumors is crucial for effective treatment and improved patient survival rates.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a hierarchical, AI-driven framework for the early detection and precise classification of kidney tumors from CT scans.
  • To enhance diagnostic accuracy and reproducibility compared to traditional methods.
  • To provide a clinically viable tool for integration into existing diagnostic workflows.

Main Methods:

  • A hierarchical AI framework utilizing a specialized encoder (RAD-DINO-MAIRA-2) for feature extraction from CT scans.
  • Employing multiple machine learning classifiers at distinct diagnostic levels for precise tumor classification.
  • Rigorous validation across 25 independent trials using benchmark kidney tumor datasets.

Main Results:

  • The AI framework achieved a maximum accuracy of 98.29% and a mean accuracy of 94.72% in kidney tumor detection and classification.
  • Gaussian Process and MLP classifiers demonstrated perfect performance in tumor type and malignant subtype differentiation, respectively.
  • The hierarchical approach outperformed conventional deep learning pipelines, showing reduced sensitivity to dataset variability.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed AI framework offers a robust, interpretable, and accurate solution for kidney tumor diagnosis from CT scans.
  • This AI-driven approach has the potential to significantly improve diagnostic efficiency and patient outcomes in clinical practice.
  • The hierarchical classification strategy provides a clinically viable pathway for integrating advanced AI tools into routine cancer diagnostics.
