Background The formation and growth of cysts in kidneys, and often liver, in autosomal
dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) cause progressive increases in total kidney
volume (TKV) and liver volume (TLV). Laborious and time-consuming manual tracing of
kidneys and liver is the current gold standard. We developed a fully automated
segmentation method for TKV and TLV measurement that uses a deep learning network
optimized to perform semantic segmentation of kidneys and liver. Methods We used 80% of …
