contents Kidney stone disease results in millions of annual visits to emergency departments in the United States. Computed tomography (CT) scans serve as the standard imaging modality for efficient detection of kidney stones. Various approaches utilizing convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have been proposed to implement automatic diagnosis of kidney stones. However, there is a growing interest in employing fast and efficient CNNs on edge devices in clinical practice. In this paper, we propose a lightweight fusion framework for kidney detection and kidney stone diagnosis on coronal CT images. In our design, we aim to minimize the computational costs of training and inference while implementing an automated approach. The experimental results indicate that our framework can achieve competitive outcomes using only 8\% of the original training data. These results include an F1 score of 96\% and a False Negative (FN) error rate of 4\%. Additionally, the average detection time per CT image on a CPU is 0.62 seconds. Reproducibility: Framework implementation and models available on GitHub.
