The first stage is the classification of kidney images into normal or abnormal (stone and tumor) image. Ultrasound images are provided to the system for the diagnosis purpose. Initially, the input images are processed for noise removal stage. After the preprocessing stage texture features are ...
An ultrasound imaging or CT scan studies can reveal the presence of the tumor due to its high-fat content pattern. Invasive diagnostic procedures such as: Laparoscopy: A special device is inserted through a small hole into the abdomen, to visually examine it. If necessary, a tissue sample is...
kidney pain may occur on the left or right side. Sometimes it can occur on both sides of the back; traumatic kidney injury (kidney laceration) may cause the above symptoms, but mild damage may initially have no symptoms. Severe kidney lacerations can cause abnormal blood pressure and pulse,...
