Development of a knowledge-base for automatic monitoring of renal function of intensive care patients over time.

abstract：BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE:Analysis of glomeruli geometry is important in histopathological evaluation of renal microscopic images. Due to the shape and size disparity of even glomeruli of same kidney, automatic detection of these renal objects is not an easy task. Although manual measurements are time consuming and at t...
