Evaluation of Transfer Learning with Deep Convolutional Neural Networks for Screening Osteoporosis in Dental Panoramic Radiographs
Ki-Sun Lee, Seok‐Ki Jung, Jae‐Jun Ryu, Sang‐Wan Shin, Jinwook Choi
SJR Q1Journal of Clinical MedicineOA

Dental panoramic radiographs (DPRs) provide information required to potentially evaluate bone density changes through a textural and morphological feature analysis on a mandible. This study aims to evaluate the discriminating performance of deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs), employed with various transfer learning strategies, on the classification of specific features of osteoporosis in DPRs. For objective labeling, we collected a dataset containing 680 images from different patients who

MobileMed: A PDA-Based Mobile Clinical Information System
Jinwook Choi, Sungjoo Yoo, Heekyong Park, Jonghoon Chun
IEEE Transactions on Information Technology in Biomedicine

Patient clinical data are distributed and often fragmented in heterogeneous systems, and therefore the need for information integration is a key to reliable patient care. Once the patient data are orderly integrated and readily available, the problems in accessing the distributed patient clinical data, the well-known difficulties of adopting a mobile health information system, are resolved. This paper proposes a mobile clinical information system (MobileMed), which integrates the distributed and

Prediction of Critical Care Outcome for Adult Patients Presenting to Emergency Department Using Initial Triage Information: An XGBoost Algorithm Analysis
Hyoungju Yun, Jinwook Choi, Jeong Ho Park
SJR Q1JMIR Medical InformaticsOA

BACKGROUND: The emergency department (ED) triage system to classify and prioritize patients from high risk to less urgent continues to be a challenge. OBJECTIVE: This study, comprising 80,433 patients, aims to develop a machine learning algorithm prediction model of critical care outcomes for adult patients using information collected during ED triage and compare the performance with that of the baseline model using the Korean Triage and Acuity Scale (KTAS). METHODS: To predict the need for crit

2D-plus-depth based resolution and frame-rate up-conversion technique for depth video
Jinwook Choi, Dongbo Min, Kwanghoon Sohn
SJR Q1IEEE Transactions on Consumer Electronics

We propose a novel framework for upconversion of depth video resolution in both spatial and time domains considering spatial and temporal coherences. Although the Time-of-Flight (TOF) sensor which is widely used in computer vision fields provides depth video in realtime, it also provides a low resolution and a low frame-rate depth video. We propose a cheaper solution that enhances depth video obtained from a TOF sensor by combining it with a Charge-coupled Device (CCD) camera in 3D contents whic

Spatial and temporal up-conversion technique for depth video
Jinwook Choi, Dongbo Min, Bumsub Ham, Kwanghoon Sohn

This paper proposes a novel framework for up-conversion of depth video resolution both in spatial and in time domain. Time-of-flight (TOF) sensors are widely used in computer vision fields. Although TOF sensors provide depth video in real time, there are some problems in a sense that it provides a low resolution and a low frame-rate depth video. We propose a cheaper solution that enhances depth video obtained by TOF sensor by combining it with CCD camera. The proposed method provides high qualit

SJR Q1Scientific ReportsOA

Recent large-scale genome-wide association studies have identified common genetic variations that may contribute to the risk of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). However, pinpointing the risk variants in noncoding regions and underlying biological mechanisms remains a major challenge. Here, we constructed a convolutional neural network model with a large-scale GWAS meta-analysis dataset to unravel functional noncoding variants associated with ALS based on their epigenetic features.

SJR Q1Scientific ReportsOA

Although several studies have attempted to develop a model for predicting 30-day re-hospitalization, few attempts have been made for sufficient verification and multi-center expansion for clinical use. In this study, we developed a model that predicts unplanned hospital readmission within 30 days of discharge; the model is based on a common data model and considers weather and air quality factors, and can be easily extended to multiple hospitals. We developed and compared four tree-based machine
