Professor Ji Soo Choi's research lab specializes in critical care medicine and respiratory diseases, with a focus on identifying predictive biomarkers and clinical risk factors for disease progression and mortality in critically ill patients. The lab investigates respiratory failure, pulmonary fibrosis, and sepsis, emphasizing early diagnosis and personalized management strategies based on physiological parameters and biochemical markers. Key research directions include the prognostic significance of physiological ratios (e.g., PaO2/FiO2, bilirubin-to-albumin, mPA/Ao), sex-specific differences in comorbid conditions like depression in COPD, and the role of early-secreted proteins such as WRS in sepsis. The lab’s work aims to improve clinical decision-making and patient outcomes in intensive care settings.

High-resolution ultrasound can be accurate in preoperative evaluation for extrathyroidal tumor extension and lateral lymph node metastasis. CT had greater sensitivity than ultrasound alone in the detection of central lymph node metastasis for all lesions. For papillary thyroid microcarcinoma, however, there was no significant difference in the diagnostic accuracy rates of ultrasound, CT, and the combination of ultrasound and CT.
Deep learning-based CAD could improve radiologists' diagnostic performance by increasing their specificity, accuracy, and PPV in differentiating between malignant and benign masses on breast US.
Colonic pseudoobstruction can be diagnosed on the basis of CT findings that show extensive colonic dilatation without an obstructive lesion at the intermediate transitional zone or adjacent to the splenic flexure. Pathologic examination reveals that intramural ganglion damage has a high tendency to occur in cases of chronic colonic pseudoobstruction.
The purpose of this study was to examine the correlation between high-resolution magic angle spinning (HR-MAS) magnetic resonance (MR) spectroscopy using core needle biopsy (CNB) specimens and histologic prognostic factors currently used in breast cancer patients. After institutional review board approval and informed consent were obtained for this study, CNB specimens were collected from 36 malignant lesions in 34 patients. Concentrations and metabolic ratios of various choline metabolites were
The purpose of this study was to determine whether metabolic profiling of core needle biopsy (CNB) samples using high-resolution magic angle spinning (HR-MAS) magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) could be used for predicting pathologic response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) in patients with locally advanced breast cancer. After institutional review board approval and informed consent were obtained, CNB tissue samples were collected from 37 malignant lesions in 37 patients before NAC treatme
Information on the safety of first-trimester exposure to diagnostic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) remains scarce. We are reporting a case series of 15 consecutive pregnant women who underwent an MRI scan with a 1.5-Tesla scanner of either the head (n = 5), cervical spine (n = 4), lumbar spine (n = 4), pelvis (n = 1) or knee (n = 1) in their first trimester of pregnancy (mean gestational age at exposure: 3.8 weeks). Patients were prospectively followed up until the completion of their pregnanc
Nonmass lesions (NMLs) on breast US are defined as discrete areas of altered echotexture compared to surrounding breast tissue and lack the 3-dimensionality of a mass. They are not a component of American College of Radiology BI-RADS, but they are a finding type included in the Japan Association of Breast and Thyroid Sonology lexicon. Use of the NML finding is routine in many Asian practices, including the Samsung Medical Center and Seoul National University Hospital, and their features and outc
Determination of PCP PCR-negative conversion and PaO2/FiO2 ratios may help physicians predict treatment failure and mortality in non-HIV PCP patients with respiratory failure.
