Abstract
It is assume that volumes of cortex and medulla are related with recovery of the kidney after transplantation. In this work, a fully automated segmentation and volume calculation method is proposed for determining renal volumes. 10 kidneys of 5 donors are used as a dataset. When the output volumes of the proposed system were compared to the golden standarts, Volume error rates are obtained as %03,97 +/- 0,02for total renal volume, %8,71 +/- 0,06 for cortex volume and %20,13 +/- 0,2 for medulla volume.
