研究室紹介
Professor Ji Hye Min's research lab specializes in abdominal and musculoskeletal radiology, with a primary focus on improving the diagnostic accuracy and prognostic prediction of liver and musculoskeletal diseases using advanced medical imaging techniques. The lab investigates the performance of MRI with various contrast agents—particularly gadoxetic acid-enhanced MRI—for early detection and characterization of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and other liver lesions, as well as the role of imaging features such as arterial enhancement patterns and microvascular invasion in guiding treatment decisions. The lab also explores the use of fusion imaging and BOLD MRI for lesion characterization and the association between muscle atrophy and neurological conditions like radiculopathy.

15We intraindividually compared the efficacy of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with extracellular contrast agents (ECA-MRI) and MRI with hepatobiliary agents (HBA-MRI) for the diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) using the Liver Imaging Reporting and Data System (LI-RADS). Between November 2016 and November 2017, we enrolled 91 patients with chronic liver disease who underwent both ECA-MRI and HBA-MRI within a 1-month interval for a first detected hepatic nodule on ultrasound. In total, 1
Background Accurate identification of microvascular invasion (MVI) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) before treatment is critical for selecting a proper treatment strategy. Purpose To evaluate the interobserver agreement and the diagnostic performance of the MRI assessment of MVI in HCC according to the level of radiologist experience. Materials and Methods This retrospective study included 100 patients with surgically confirmed HCCs smaller than 5 cm who underwent gadoxetic acid-enhanced MRI be
Purpose To identify whether arterial enhancement pattern at MRI could predict the prognosis after surgical resection of intrahepatic mass-forming cholangiocarcinoma (IMCC). Materials and Methods Patients who underwent curative hepatic resection and preoperative MRI for IMCC from November 2007 to September 2016 were retrospectively evaluated. MRI enhancement pattern was classified by two radiologists. Recurrence and death data were retrieved until September 31, 2017. Prognostic factor analysis wa
Fusion imaging with CEUS and CT/MR imaging is highly effective for percutaneous RFA of very-early-stage HCCs inconspicuous on fusion imaging with B-mode US and CT/MR imaging.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Many studies have evaluated factors related to lumbar multifidus (MF) muscle atrophy. However, few studies have investigated radiculopathy and the MF muscle. In this study, the association between radiculopathy and lumbar MF muscle atrophy in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was evaluated. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In total, 100 patients with low back pain or radiating leg pain were examined. Their lumbar MRIs were visually analyzed semi-quantitatively for signs of lumbar
Renal BOLD MRI at 3 T is a feasible technique and may be useful for differentiating various renal lesions.
OBJECTIVE:: To compare the diagnostic performance of non-contrast liver MRI to whole MRI using gadoxetic acid for detection of recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after hepatectomy. METHODS:: weighted and diffusion-weighted images) and whole MRI set (gadoxetic acid-enhanced and non-contrast MRI) were analyzed independently by two observers. Receiver operating characteristic analysis was used (with the observers' individual observations and consensus) to detect recurrent HCC. The accuracy, s
