유마사키 유투로 교수의 연구실은 심혈관 질환, 특히 만성 혈전색전성 폐고혈압(CTEPH)과 관련된 심장 기능 평가 및 영상 진단 기술 개발에 중점을 두고 있습니다. 특히 심장의 전도 기능, 심박수 변동성, 뇌뇌내외부 기능 변화와 영상 영상 기반 조직 섬유화 평가(예: RV ECV 측정)를 통해 질환의 병태생리학을 규명하고자 합니다. 또한, 방사선 노출을 줄이고 영상 품질을 향상시키는 최신 영상 알고리즘(예: MBIR)의 적용도 활발히 연구하고 있습니다.

To study the effects of aging and gender, circadian profiles of heart rate variability were evaluated for 105 healthy volunteers by frequency domain analysis of a Holter electrocardiogram record. The low-frequency (LF) component representing cardiac beta-adrenergic function showed high values for the 0800-1200 period in male subjects and the 1200-2400 period in female subjects. The high-frequency (HF) component representing parasympathetic function showed a peak for the 0000-0600 period in both
Background While current guidelines require lung ventilation-perfusion (V/Q) scanning as the first step to diagnose chronic pulmonary embolism in pulmonary hypertension (PH), its use may be limited by low availability and/or exposure to ionizing radiation. Purpose To compare the performance of dynamic chest radiography (DCR) and lung V/Q scanning for detection of chronic thromboembolic PH (CTEPH). Materials and Methods Patients with PH who underwent DCR and V/Q scanning in the supine position fr
The RA reservoir and passive conduit functions were impaired in inoperable CTEPH, whereas RA active function was preserved. BPA markedly reversed these impaired functions. The improvements in RA reservoir and conduit functions were significantly correlated with the changes in BNP levels and PVR in CTEPH patients with normal RA sizes.
Background Right ventricular (RV) extracellular volumes (ECVs), as a surrogate for histologic fibrosis, have not been sufficiently investigated. Purpose To evaluate and compare RV and left ventricular (LV) ECVs obtained with dual-layer spectral detector CT (DLCT) in chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) and investigate the clinical importance of RV ECV. Materials and Methods Retrospective analysis was performed on data from 31 patients with CTEPH (17 were not treated with pulmona
The MBIR algorithm significantly improved image quality and decreased radiation exposure in 320-row CTA of infants with complex CHD, providing an alternative to FBP or HIR that is both safer and produces better results.
We report a case of renal cell carcinoma with solitary metachronous metastasis to contralateral adrenal gland occurring 9 months after radical nephrectomy. The patient was treated with a contralateral adrenalectomy and is alive for 87 months. The literature was reviewed and 5-year survival of solitary metachronous metastasis to contralateral adrenal gland was 60%. Follow-up duration of our case was the longest in the literature. It is suggested that the solitary contralateral adrenal gland metas
