KPIs-RSFNet: a deep learning-based method for glomerulus segmentation
Key takeaways
This paper describes a computer program that automatically outlines glomeruli, the tiny filters inside the kidney, in slides of kidney tissue. It is a tool for pathologists and researchers to measure kidney damage faster and more consistently. The paper reports how well the software traces the structures, not whether it changes any patient's diagnosis or treatment. There are no patient outcomes here.
