研究室紹介
Professor Eun Seok Cho's research lab specializes in medical imaging and image-guided interventions, with a focus on optimizing diagnostic accuracy and image quality in abdominal and biliary tract imaging. The lab investigates advanced computed tomography (CT) protocols—particularly low-kVp techniques with various iodinated contrast media—to enhance vascular contrast, reduce radiation dose, and improve diagnostic performance in hepatocellular carcinoma and cholangiocarcinoma. Additionally, the lab explores magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) biomarkers for predicting HCC prognosis, emphasizing quantitative imaging features such as apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values and hepatobiliary phase enhancement. The integration of advanced imaging techniques with clinical outcomes defines the lab’s translational research approach.

15Imaging studies including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) play a crucial role in the diagnosis and staging of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Several recent studies reveal a large number of MRI features related to the prognosis of HCC. In this review, we discuss various MRI features of HCC and their implications for the diagnosis and prognosis as imaging biomarkers. As a whole, the favorable MRI findings of HCC are small size, encapsulation, intralesional fat, high apparent diffusion coefficien
The use of 80 kVp with MC-CM improved arterial enhancement, SNR, and CNR and provided superior quality images using a smaller amount of iodine and a lower radiation dose than the conventional protocol of 120 kVp with HC-CM.
UML is the de-facto industry standard to design object-oriented software. UML provides a set of diagrams to model every aspect of an object-oriented application design in sufficient detail, but lacks any mechanism to rigorously check consistency between the models. Today, most of the effort is applied on creating accurate and consistent UML models rather than implementing the design. Automatic code generation from UML models has emerged as a promising area in recent years. The accuracy of genera
Combined conventional T2-weighted and MnDPDP-enhanced T1-weighted MR cholangiography may eliminate the use of other studies for the imaging of biliary complications after cholecystectomy if this preliminary data can be verified in a larger study.
In evaluating the biliary ductal extension of hilar cholangiocarcinoma, MDCT and MRC showed similar accuracies and agreements.
The use of 80 kVp with moderate-concentration CM could improve arterial enhancement and provide superior image quality with a smaller amount of iodine and a lower radiation dose.
BACKGROUND: Myosteatosis and systemic inflammation are well-known prognostic factors in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). The serum albumin level is a reflection of malnutrition and systemic inflammation, which in turn plays a key role in the development of myosteatosis. However, few studies have been conducted on these synergistic effects. This study aimed to examine the individual and synergistic effects of different prognostic markers related to skeletal muscle quality and serum albumin
Background and aims This study compared the prognostic significance of various nutritional and inflammatory indicators such as neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio, prognostic nutritional index, and controlling nutritional status score. In addition, we aimed to establish a more accurate prognostic indicator. Methods We retrospectively evaluated 1112 patients with stage I–III colorectal cancer between January 2004 and April 2014. The contro
The 100 kVp setting in CTV substantially help improve venous enhancement and CNR(VEIN). Furthermore, it enables to reduce the amount of administered iodine while maintaining venous attenuation, as compared with the 120 kVp setting.
