About the Lab

Professor Min Hoan Moon's research lab specializes in fetal and pelvic ultrasonography, with a focus on prenatal and reproductive imaging. The lab conducts comprehensive, population-specific studies on fetal anatomy and development, including reference values for the anal sphincter, gallbladder, and nasal bone, highlighting the importance of racial and ethnic variations in fetal measurements. The lab also investigates male infertility using scrotal ultrasound, contributing to the differentiation of obstructive and non-obstructive azoospermia. Additionally, the lab explores sonographic features of ovarian tumors and adnexal torsion, advancing diagnostic accuracy in gynecologic and obstetric imaging.

SJR Q1FWCI 3.9Prenatal Diagnosis

There is a difference in NBL scanned at 11-14 weeks' gestation between the Korean and the Caucasian/African-American populations, and so racial adjustment is needed in the evaluation of the fetal nasal bone for current first-trimester screening.

Diamniotic twin pregnancies with a single placental mass; prediction of chorionicity at 11 to 14 weeks of gestation
Min Hoan Moon, Suyeon Park, Mi Jin Song, Jae Hyug Yang, Moon Young Kim, Sung Ran Hong, Seong Ho Park
SJR Q1FWCI 1.4Prenatal Diagnosis

The chorionicity of diamniotic twin pregnancies with a single placental mass can be reliably predicted by transvaginal US depiction of the amnion and chorion at 11 to 14 weeks of gestation.

SJR Q1FWCI 1.4Prenatal Diagnosis

Our study showed that nasal bone abnormality at 11-14 weeks of gestation had a high association with DS in the Korean population. This suggests that nasal bone assessment can be used to supplement the current first-trimester screening for DS in the Korean population.

SJR Q3FWCI 1.3MedicineOA

This study is aimed to explore the performance of texture-based machine learning and image-based deep-learning for enhancing detection of Transitional-zone prostate cancer (TZPCa) in the background of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), using a one-to-one correlation between prostatectomy-based pathologically proven lesion and MRI. Seventy patients confirmed as TZPCa and twenty-nine patients confirmed as BPH without TZPCa by radical prostatectomy. For texture analysis, a radiologist drew the reg

Computed Tomography Indicators for Differentiating Stage 1 Borderline Ovarian Tumors from Stage I Malignant Epithelial Ovarian Tumors
Min Hoan Moon, Hee Sun Park, Young Jun Kim, Mi Hye Yu, Sungeun Park, Sung Il Jung
SJR Q2FWCI 0.8DiagnosticsOA

Preoperative diagnosis of borderline ovarian tumors (BOTs) is of increasing concern. This study aimed to determine computed tomography (CT) features in differentiating stage 1 BOTs from stage I malignant epithelial ovarian tumors (MEOTs). A total of 170 ovarian masses (97 BOTs and 73 MEOTs) from 141 consecutive patients who underwent preoperative CT imaging were retrospectively analyzed. Two readers independently and retrospectively reviewed quantitative and qualitative CT features. Multivariate
