Chapter 1Computer-Aided Diagnosis Systems for Acute Renal Transplant Rejection: Challenges and Methodologies

Mostapha, Mahmoud; Khalifa, Fahmi; Alansary, Amir; Soliman, Ahmed; Suri, Jasjit; El-Baz, Ayman S.

Pages: 1 –35

[This chapter overviews one of the most critical problems in urology, namely detection of acute renal transplant rejection. Developing an effective, fast, and accurate computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system for early detection of acute renal rejection is of great clinical importance for the...

Chapter 2Kidney Detection and Segmentation in Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound 3D Images

Prevost, Raphael; Mory, Benoit; Cuingnet, Remi; Correas, Jean-Michel; Cohen, Laurent D.; Ardon, Roberto

Pages: 37 –67

[Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) imaging has lately benefited of an increasing interest for diagnosis and intervention planning, as it allows to visualize blood flow in real-time harmlessly for the patient. It complements thus the anatomical information provided by conventional ultrasound...

Chapter 3Renal Cortex Segmentation on Computed Tomography

Chen, Xinjian; Xiang, Dehui; Ju, Wei; Zhao, Heming; Yao, Jianhua

Pages: 69 –97

[The current procedure of renal cortex segmentation is subjective and tedious. This chapter introduces an automated framework for renal cortex segmentation on contrast-enhanced abdominal CT images. The framework consists of four parts: first, an active appearance model (AAM) is built using a set...

Chapter 4Diffuse Fatty Liver Disease: From Diagnosis to Quantification

Curvo-Semedo, Luís; Andrade, Daniel Ramos; Ruivo, Catarina; Paulino, Cláudia; Caseiro-Alves, Filipe

Pages: 99 –122

[Even though liver biopsy is considered to be the gold standard for diagnosis and quantification of liver steatosis, it is not devoid of problems, since it implicates an invasive maneuver which carries a certain amount of risk of hemorrhage. Furthermore, it suffers from sampling errors and is...

Chapter 5Multimodality Approach to Detection and Characterization of Hepatic Hemangiomas

Gupta, Rajan T.; Marin, Daniele

Pages: 123 –144

[Hemangiomas are the most common benign hepatic tumor and represent a common incidental finding on routine imaging examinations of the liver. The majority of hemangiomas demonstrate classical imaging findings on grayscale ultrasound (US), multidetector-row computed tomography (MDCT), and magnetic...

Chapter 6Ultrasound Liver Surface and Textural Characterization for the Detection of Liver Cirrhosis

Ribeiro, Ricardo; Marinho, Rui T.; Suri, Jasjit; Sanches, J. Miguel

Pages: 145 –168

[This chapter addresses the problem of liver cirrhosis classification via ultrasound imaging. For this classification problem, a liver semiautomatic contour segmentation algorithm to characterize the morphology and a textural feature extraction scheme for the characterization of liver parenchyma...

Chapter 7MR Imaging of Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Lee, Dong Ho; Lee, Jeong Min

Pages: 169 –207

[Liver cirrhosis is a major public health problem worldwide and is the end result of chronic liver disease. Cirrhotic liver is characterized by advanced hepatic fibrosis and formation of a spectrum of hepatocellular nodules ranging from benign regenerative nodules to overt HCC. Screening and...

Chapter 8Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Adenocarcinoma of the Pancreas

Semelka, Richard C.; Escobar, Luz Adriana; Ansari, Najwa Al; Semelka, Charles Thomas Alexander

Pages: 209 –231

[Technical advances of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), including ultrahigh-field magnetic resonance at 3.0 T, parallel imaging techniques, and multichannel receive coils of the abdomen, are valuable tools in the assessment of the pancreatic disease. A standard MR protocol including non-contrast...

Chapter 9Quantitative Evaluation of Liver Function Within MR Imaging

Yamada, Akira

Pages: 233 –251

[Hepatocellular uptake index (HUI) is a quantitative indicator of excretory liver function, which is obtained from signal intensity of the liver and spleen and liver volume on gadoxetate disodium-enhanced MR images. HUI correlates well with existing quantitative liver function test results, such...

Chapter 10Diffusion-Weighted Imaging of the Liver

Muhi, Ali; Ichikawa, Tomoaki; Motosugi, Utaroh

Pages: 253 –278

[Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) has been more frequently used in abdominal imaging after recent advances in technology including parallel imaging and EPI, particularly for assessment of liver. These advances in technology have reduced examination time and artifacts. DWI is quick and can be...
