Description

Image-based morphometric scoring systems such as the RENAL and PADUA scores are useful to evaluate the complexity of partial nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma (RCC). The main aim of this study was to develop a new imaging software to enable an automatic detection and a 3D visualization of RCC from CT angiography (CTA) and to address the feasibility to use it to evaluate the features of the RENAL and the PADUA scores.
