Abstract

Computed tomography urography (CTU) is a specialized radiological procedure that produces finely detailed pictures of the urinary system, comprising the kidneys, ureters, and bladder, using computed tomography (CT) scans. This diagnostic procedure’s main goal is to assess disorders that impact these vital organs, such as stones in the kidneys, tumors, UTIs, and morphological anomalies. CTU has benefits like the capacity to deliver a personalized therapeutic strategy via radiomics and artificial intelligence technologies, as well as extra knowledge about abdominal anatomy. This comprehensive article looks at how computed tomography urography (CTU) is used and how it can be changed to evaluate the urinary system, especially the kidneys, bladder, and ureters. The most important part of this review is the discussion on 3D kidney segmentation and reconstruction from urographic images, which has helped doctors a lot with the accurate diagnosis and planning of treatment for kidney diseases. Even though 3D convolution networks have been used a lot in medical picture segmentation, it can be hard to adapt them to clinical data from different modalities that have not been seen before. The review gives an in-depth look at the current research on how an unsupervised domain adaptation or translation method can be used with 2D networks, especially for accurate kidney segmentation in urographic images. Through this thorough study, we want to show how these techniques can be used in medical imaging and how they might change in the future.
