研究室紹介
Professor Hyungwoo Ahn's research lab specializes in medical imaging and diagnostic radiology, with a focus on improving the accuracy and efficiency of disease detection, particularly in prostate cancer and neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders. The lab investigates advanced MRI techniques, including multiparametric and diffusion-weighted MRI, to enhance early diagnosis and prognosis prediction. It also explores the integration of clinical biomarkers and novel scoring systems to support personalized medicine and reduce diagnostic uncertainty.

15Large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT have garnered considerable interest for their potential to aid non-native English-speaking researchers. These models can function as personal, round-the-clock English tutors, akin to how Prometheus in Greek mythology bestowed fire upon humans for their advancement. LLMs can be particularly helpful for non-native researchers in writing the Introduction and Discussion sections of manuscripts, where they often encounter challenges. However, using LLMs to
Our scoring system, based on cervicomedullary junction involvement, higher cord expansion ratio, bright spotty lesions, and female sex, can facilitate the timely diagnosis of neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders.
Diagnostic performance of bpMRI without dynamic contrast enhancement MRI is not significantly different from mpMRI with dynamic contrast enhancement MRI in the detection of csPCa.
Although MRI showed adequate diagnostic performance in predicting PCa recurrence after HIFU, these results may have been exaggerated.
The most accurate prediction of both PCa and csPCa can be performed by combining PHI and mpMRI. In the absence of mpMRI, PHI is superior to PSA alone as a predictor of PCa, and adding PHI to PSA can increase the detection rate of both PCa and csPCa.
To investigate the associations of weekend catch-up sleep (WCS) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) levels according to bedtime inconsistency in the Korean population. In this cross-sectional study using the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2016-2018) with 17,665 participants, four groups were defined: no-WCS (WCS within ± 1 h of weekday sleep time), moderate WCS (1 ≤ , < 3 h), severe WCS (≥ 3 h), and inverse WCS (≤ - 1 h). An inconsistent bedtime was defined
The universal use of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging resulted in a low-diagnostic yield for local recurrence in patients with biochemical recurrence after radical prostatectomy. The results suggest that selective use of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging should be considered in patients with a higher prostate-specific antigen threshold.
Stent placement for the palliative treatment of colorectal obstruction is less effective and more frequently requires reintervention in patients with ECM than in patients with CRC. Long obstructions and multiple obstructions were associated with stent failure.
Background Guidelines recommending additional imaging for adrenal nodules lack relevant epidemiologic evidence. Purpose To measure the prevalence of adrenal nodules detected at staging CT in patients with potentially resectable gastric cancer and the proportion of patients with malignant nodules among them. Materials and Methods This retrospective study included 10 250 consecutive patients (median age, 63 years; interquartile range, 53-71 years; 6884 men) who underwent staging CT and had potenti
