Kidney shape statistical analysis: associations with disease and anthropometric factors

Abstract Background Organ measurements derived from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have the potential to enhance our understanding of the precise phenotypic variations underlying many clinical conditions. Methods We applied morphometric methods to study the kidneys by constructing surface meshes f...
