研究室紹介
Professor Ji-Wook Yoo's research lab specializes in cerebrovascular diseases, with a primary focus on intracranial aneurysms, moyamoya disease, and vertebral artery dissection. The lab emphasizes advanced neuroimaging techniques—particularly high-resolution vessel wall imaging (HR-VWI)—to investigate vascular morphology, rupture risk factors, and hemodynamic changes in pathological conditions. Key research directions include identifying morphological predictors of choroidal anastomosis rupture in moyamoya disease and evaluating diagnostic accuracy of HR-VWI versus conventional angiography in intracranial vascular disorders.

15OBJECTIVE: Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a severe neuropathic condition that affects several elderly patients. It is characterized by uncontrolled pain that significantly impacts the quality of life of patients. Therefore, the condition should be treated as an emergency. In the majority of patients, pain can be controlled with medication; however, other treatment modalities are being explored in those who become refractory to drug treatment. The use of the trigeminal nerve block with a local anes
PURPOSE: Intracranial vertebral artery dissection (VAD) is being increasingly recognized as a leading cause of Wallenberg syndrome and subarachnoid hemorrhage. Conventional angiography is considered the standard diagnostic modality, but the diagnosis of VAD remains challenging. This study aimed to compare the diagnostic performance of high-resolution vessel wall imaging (HR-VWI) with digital subtraction angiography (DSA) for intracranial VAD. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twenty-four patients with 27 V
