Ultrasound (US) imaging is a widely used medical imaging modality for the diagnosis, monitoring, and surgical planning for kidney conditions. Thus, accurate segmentation of the kidney and internal structures in US images is essential for the assessment of kidney function and the detection of pathological conditions, such as cysts, tumors, and kidney stones. Therefore, there is a need for automated methods that can accurately segment the kidney and internal structures in US images. Over the years, automatic strategies were proposed for such purpose, with deep learning methods achieving the current state-of-the-art results...
