Automated quantification of microstructural dimensions of the human kidney using optical coherence tomography (OCT)
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a rapidly emerging imaging modality that can non-invasively provide cross-sectional, highresolution
images of tissue morphology in situ and in real-time. We previously demonstrated that OCT is capable of visualizing characteristic
kidney anatomic structures, including blood vessels, uriniferous tubules,glomeruli, and renal capsules on a Munich–Wistar rat model. Because the viability of a donor kidney is closely correlated with its tubular morphology, and a large amount of image datasets are expected when using OCT to scan the entire kidney to provide a global assessment of its viability, it is
necessary to develop automatic image analysis ...
