About the Lab

Professor Jin Wook Jeoung's research lab specializes in retinal imaging and glaucoma diagnostics, focusing on the application of spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) to assess structural changes in the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) and ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer (GCIPL). The lab investigates the diagnostic performance of OCT parameters in glaucoma, particularly in challenging populations such as high myopes, and explores the impact of ocular biometrics like axial length and optic disc size on OCT measurements. A key innovation in the lab is the development and validation of deep learning algorithms to enhance early detection of glaucomatous changes with high sensitivity and specificity.

Macular Ganglion Cell Imaging Study: Glaucoma Diagnostic Accuracy of Spectral-Domain Optical Coherence Tomography
Jin Wook Jeoung, Yun Jeong Choi, Ki Ho Park, Dong‐Myung Kim
SJR Q1Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science

There were no significant differences between the AUROCs for Cirrus GCIPL, RNFL, and ONH parameters, indicating that these maps have similar diagnostic potentials for glaucoma. The minimum GCIPL showed better glaucoma diagnostic performance than the other parameters at comparable specificities. However, other GCIPL parameters showed performances comparable to those of the RNFL parameters.

Comparison of Cirrus OCT and Stratus OCT on the Ability to Detect Localized Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Defects in Preperimetric Glaucoma

SJR Q1Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science

There were no significant differences between the AUROCs for Cirrus and Stratus OCT, indicating that the two devices have similar diagnostic potentials in preperimetric glaucoma. After comparison with their normative databases, Cirrus OCT had generally higher sensitivities; however, this was largely at the cost of lower specificities than Stratus OCT.

To determine the influences of myopia and optic disc size on ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer (GCIPL) and peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness profiles obtained by spectral domain optical coherence tomography (OCT). One hundred and sixty-eight eyes of 168 young myopic subjects were recruited and assigned to one of three groups according to their spherical equivalent (SE) values and optic disc area. All underwent Cirrus HD-OCT imaging. The influences of myopia and optic dis

PRéCIS:: A spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) based deep learning system detected glaucomatous structural change with high sensitivity and specificity. It outperformed the clinical diagnostic parameters in discriminating glaucomatous eyes from healthy eyes. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to assess the performance of a deep learning classifier for the detection of glaucomatous change based on SD-OCT. METHODS: Three hundred fifty image sets of ganglion cell-inner plexifo

PURPOSE: To evaluate the diagnostic ability of layer-by-layer segmented macular ganglion cell complex (GCC) using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) for detection of glaucoma and to analyze the topographic patterns of the segmented thicknesses in open-angle glaucoma. METHODS: Seventy-seven open-angle glaucoma patients and 59 healthy subjects were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. Spectral-domain OCT with automated segmentation was used to measure the separate thicknesses of

Ocular Perfusion Pressure and the Risk of Open-Angle Glaucoma: Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

SJR Q1Scientific ReportsOA

Low ocular perfusion pressure (OPP) has been proposed as an important risk factor for glaucoma development and progression, but controversy still exists between studies. Therefore, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to analyze the association between OPP and open-angle glaucoma (OAG). Studies were identified by searching PubMed and EMBASE databases. The pooled absolute and standardised mean difference in OPP between OAG patients and controls were evaluated using the random-effect

SJR Q1Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science

The diagnostic ability of macular GCIPL parameters was comparable to that of peripapillary RNFL and ONH parameters in PPG. The inner directional angle of RNFL defects, but not the angular width, affects the diagnostic sensitivity of macular GCIPL parameters.

Objective: We wanted to investigate the prevalence and causative factors of extrahepatic arterial blood supply to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) at its initial presentation and during chemoembolization. Materials and Methods: Between February 1998 and April 2000, consecutive 479 patients with newly diagnosed HCC were prospectively enrolled into this study. A total of 1629 sessions of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) were performed in these patients (range: 1 15 sessions; mean: 3.4
