About the Lab
Professor Man Deuk Kim's research lab specializes in interventional radiology and interventional radiology-based interventions for pelvic and abdominal diseases. The lab focuses on image-guided minimally invasive treatments for uterine fibroids, adenomyosis, and gastrointestinal variceal bleeding, with an emphasis on evaluating long-term efficacy, safety, and optimal procedural strategies. Key research directions include uterine artery embolization (UAE) for symptomatic uterine pathology, endovascular techniques such as BRTO and TIPS for portal hypertension, and the role of biomarkers and imaging in differentiating benign from malignant processes. The lab also investigates molecular pathways in renal fibrosis, particularly the therapeutic potential of BMP-7 in chronic kidney disease.

The aim our study was to determine the long-term clinical efficacy of UAE in the management of symptomatic adenomyosis without fibroids. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The cases of all patients who underwent UAE for adenomyosis without fibroids between 1998 and 2000 were analyzed. This study was a retrospective review of a prospectively collected database. Of the 6
BACKGROUND AND AIM: Both balloon-occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration (BRTO) and transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) are considered effective treatments for gastric variceal bleeding (GVB). In this study, outcomes of these two procedures were compared in managing patients with GVB. METHODS: A total of 142 patients undergoing BRTO (n = 95) or TIPS (n = 47) between 2005 and 2012 at two tertiary centers were selected for retrospective review. RESULTS: Mean patient age (male
Characteristic CT findings of laryngeal tuberculosis include bilateral involvement, thickening of the free margin of the epiglottis, and good preservation of the preepiglottic and paralaryngeal fat spaces even in the presence of extensive mucosal involvement. By comparison, laryngeal carcinoma presented unilateral involvement, infiltration of the preepiglottic and paralaryngeal fat spaces by a submucosal mass, cartilage destruction, and extralaryngeal invasion.
