Published: September 2012

Objective: The nephrometry score, which is determined from cross-sectional imaging, stratifies renal masses into low, intermediate, and high complexity. The purpose of this article is to understand how the score is determined and review the five key features that contribute to the nephrometry score.

Conclusion: The scoring system has implications for surgical planning and has been widely adopted by urologists but is less familiar to radiologists.

Multi-label zero-shot learning (ML-ZSL) strives to recognize all objects in an image, regardless of whether they are present in the training data. Recent methods incorporate an attention mechanism to locate labels in the image and generate class-specific semantic information. However, the attention mechanism built on visual features treats label embeddings equally in the prediction score, leading to severe semantic ambiguity.
