About the Lab
Professor Chae Jung Park's research lab specializes in neuroimaging and biomarker discovery in neurodegenerative and neurological disorders, with a focus on integrating advanced medical imaging techniques—such as MRI, DTI, and EEG—with machine learning and radiomics to improve early diagnosis and prognosis prediction. The lab investigates brain network alterations, glymphatic system function, and epileptiform activity (e.g., high-frequency oscillations) in conditions like Parkinson’s disease, dementia, gliomas, and epilepsy. A key emphasis is on translating these imaging-based biomarkers into clinically actionable tools through adherence to rigorous reporting standards and validation frameworks.

15BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The choroid plexus (CP) clears harmful metabolites from the central nervous system as part of the glymphatic system. We investigated the association of CP volume (CPV) with baseline and longitudinal cognitive decline in patients with Parkinson disease (PD). METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 240 patients with newly diagnosed PD who had undergone detailed neuropsychological tests and high-resolution T1-weighted structural magnetic resonance imaging
MR imaging features integrated with machine learning classifiers may predict a subset of <i>IDH</i> wild-type lower-grade gliomas that carry molecular features of glioblastoma.
The overall scientific and reporting quality of radiomics studies on brain metastases published during the study period was insufficient. Radiomics studies should adhere to the RQS, TRIPOD, and IBSI guidelines to facilitate the translation of radiomics into the clinical field.
Objectives Diffusion tensor image analysis along the perivascular space (DTI-ALPS) is a recently introduced method for the assessment of the glymphatic system without the need for contrast injection. The purpose of our study was to assess the glymphatic system in cognitively normal older adults with or without subjective cognitive decline (SCD) using DTI-ALPS, and correlating with amyloid PET. Design and participants To evaluate the glymphatic system in cognitively normal older adults using DTI-
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to retrospectively investigate the reliability of breast ultrasound (US) Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) final assessment in mammographically negative patients with pathologic nipple discharge, and to determine the clinical and ultrasonographic variables associated with malignancy in this group of patients.\n\nMETHODS: A total of 65 patients with 67 mammographically negative breast lesions that were pathologically confirmed through US-gui
Cognitive impairment in Parkinson's disease (PD) severely affects patients' prognosis, and early detection of patients at high risk of dementia conversion is important for establishing treatment strategies. We aimed to investigate whether multiparametric MRI radiomics from basal ganglia can improve the prediction of dementia development in PD when integrated with clinical profiles. In this retrospective study, 262 patients with newly diagnosed PD (June 2008-July 2017, follow-up >5 years) were in
OBJECTIVES: This study investigated whether radiomic features can improve the prediction accuracy for tumor recurrence over clinicopathological features and if these features can be used to identify high-risk patients requiring adjuvant radiotherapy (ART) in WHO grade 2 meningiomas. METHODS: Preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of 155 grade 2 meningioma patients with a median follow-up of 63.8 months were included and allocated to training (n = 92) and test sets (n = 63). After radiomic
The purpose of this study was to determine the diagnostic utility of low-dose CT with knowledge-based iterative model reconstruction (IMR) for the evaluation of parotid gland tumors. Materials and Methods: This prospective study included 42 consecutive patients who had undergone low-dose contrastenhanced CT for the evaluation of suspected parotid gland tumors. Prior or subsequent non-low-dose CT scans within 12 months were available in 10 of the participants. Background noise (BN), signal-to-noi
When US findings of thyroid nodules are assessed according to the 2015 ATA guidelines, nondiagnostic thyroid nodules with very-low- or low-suspicion US patterns can be followed up with US. Nondiagnostic nodules with intermediate or highly suspicious US patterns should be evaluated with repeat US-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to retrospectively investigate the reliability of breast ultrasound (US) Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) final assessment in mammographically negative patients with pathologic nipple discharge, and to determine the clinical and ultrasonographic variables associated with malignancy in this group of patients. Methods: A total of 65 patients with 67 mammographically negative breast lesions that were pathologically confirmed through US-guided
