About the Lab

Professor Sung Hyub Hyun's research lab specializes in medical image analysis and artificial intelligence applications in oncology and ophthalmology. The lab focuses on developing machine learning and deep learning models to improve diagnostic accuracy and prognostic prediction in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) using PET/CT and CT radiomics. A key research direction involves leveraging imaging biomarkers—such as FDG uptake and tumor volume—combined with clinical metadata to enhance early detection and differential diagnosis. The lab also pioneers AI-driven approaches for glaucoma diagnosis using fundus and OCT imaging, aiming to automate and standardize screening processes.

PURPOSE: We sought to distinguish lung adenocarcinoma (ADC) from squamous cell carcinoma using a machine-learning algorithm with PET-based radiomic features. METHODS: A total of 396 patients with 210 ADCs and 186 squamous cell carcinomas who underwent FDG PET/CT prior to treatment were retrospectively analyzed. Four clinical features (age, sex, tumor size, and smoking status) and 40 radiomic features were investigated in terms of lung ADC subtype prediction. Radiomic features were extracted from

SJR Q1Annals of Surgery

The volume-based parameter of PET is an independent prognostic factor for survival in addition to pathological tumor-node-metastasis stage and a promising tool for better prediction of outcome in patients with early-stage NSCLC.

SJR Q2Applied SciencesOA

Glaucoma is a leading eye disease, causing vision loss by gradually affecting peripheral vision if left untreated. Current diagnosis of glaucoma is performed by ophthalmologists, human experts who typically need to analyze different types of medical images generated by different types of medical equipment: fundus, Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer (RNFL), Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) disc, OCT macula, perimetry, and/or perimetry deviation. Capturing and analyzing these medical images is labor inte

PURPOSE: We aimed to evaluate the performance of a deep learning system for differential diagnosis of lung cancer with conventional CT and FDG PET/CT using transfer learning (TL) and metadata. METHODS: A total of 359 patients with a lung mass or nodule who underwent noncontrast chest CT and FDG PET/CT prior to treatment were enrolled retrospectively. All pulmonary lesions were classified by pathology (257 malignant, 102 benign). Deep learning classification models based on ResNet-18 were develop
