研究室紹介
Professor Yoo Jin Hong's research lab specializes in cardiovascular and oncological imaging, with a focus on advancing non-invasive diagnostic techniques for early detection and monitoring of cardiac and oncological diseases. The lab investigates the clinical applications of advanced medical imaging modalities—particularly dual-energy CT, cardiac MRI with T1-mapping, and perfusion imaging—to improve the diagnosis, differentiation, and risk stratification of conditions such as pulmonary embolism, chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity, and cardiac masses. A central theme is the development and validation of quantitative imaging biomarkers for subclinical tissue changes, enabling earlier intervention and personalized treatment strategies.

15Using MPR images enables more accurate preoperative T staging of gastric cancer, but not for N staging in either classification system.
Chronic PTE segments were significantly more enhanced on the delayed phase of two-phase dual-energy CT images than were acute PTE segments, possibly resulting from more extensive systemic collateral formation in chronic PTE. Two-phase dual-energy CT can be used to differentiate distinct regional perfusion patterns between acute and chronic PTE.
A reliable, non-invasive diagnostic method is needed for early detection and serial monitoring of cardiotoxicity, a well-known side effect of chemotherapy. This study aimed to assess the feasibility of T1-mapping cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) for evaluating subclinical myocardial changes in a doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity rabbit model. Adult male New Zealand White rabbits were injected twice-weekly with doxorubicin and subjected to CMR on a clinical 3T MR system before and every
Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a potentially fatal disease if the diagnosis or treatment is delayed. Currently, multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) is considered the standard imaging method for diagnosing PE. Dual-energy CT (DECT) has the advantages of MDCT and can provide functional information for patients with PE. The aim of this review is to present the potential clinical applications of DECT in PE, focusing on the diagnosis and risk stratification of PE.
It is critical to distinguish between cardiac tumors and thrombi because they require different treatment strategies. Although accurate differentiation of these cardiac masses can be challenging, computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are promising tools to improve their diagnosis. This study aimed to assess the diagnostic value of a volume-based quantification strategy using dual-energy CT to differentiate between cardiac tumors and thrombi. We prospectively enrolled 41 p
