About the Lab

Professor Yeonggon Kim's research lab specializes in applying deep learning and advanced signal processing to medical imaging and physiological data for improved disease prediction and diagnosis. The lab focuses on developing automated AI systems for early detection and classification of conditions such as fractures, epilepsy, and renal tumors using medical imaging (CT, X-ray, EEG). A key direction involves leveraging non-invasive, routinely acquired clinical data—like hip CT scans and EEG—to build interpretable, clinically actionable models. The lab also emphasizes accessibility, promoting tools like KNIME to enable researchers without programming expertise to conduct deep learning in healthcare.

Background Patients have the highest risk of subsequent fractures in the first few years after an initial fracture, yet models to predict short-term subsequent risk have not been developed. Purpose To develop and validate a deep learning prediction model for subsequent fracture risk using digitally reconstructed radiographs from hip CT in patients with recent hip fractures. Materials and Methods This retrospective study included adult patients who underwent three-dimensional hip CT due to a frac

SJR Q1Scientific ReportsOA

Epilepsy is a neurological disorder in which the brain is transiently altered. Predicting outcomes in epilepsy is essential for providing feedback that can foster improved outcomes in the future. This study aimed to investigate whether applying spectral and temporal filters to resting-state electroencephalography (EEG) signals could improve the prediction of outcomes for patients taking antiseizure medication to treat temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). We collected EEG data from a total of 46 patient

Rice-based Korean meals (bibimbap and kimbap) have lower glycemic responses and postprandial-triglyceride effects than energy-matched Western meals

SJR Q1Journal of Ethnic FoodsOA

The rate of metabolic syndrome (MetS) is exceptionally high in Korea, and the health risks and dietary implications of MetS have been reported extensively. Although most meals include combination foods, little is known about metabolic responses to meals containing various foods (such as a hamburger, which typically includes meat, bread, and vegetables). The purpose of this study was to compare glycemic responses and postprandial-triglyceride (PTG) concentrations after consuming each of four test

SJR Q1Scientific ReportsOA

Among patients with epilepsy, 30-40% experience recurrent seizures even after adequate antiseizure medications therapies, making them refractory. The early identification of refractory epilepsy is important to provide timely surgical treatment for these patients. In this study, we analyze interictal electroencephalography (EEG) data to predict drug refractoriness in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) who were treated with monotherapy at the time of the first EEG acquisition. Various EEG

SJR Q1Kidney Research and Clinical PracticeOA

BACKGROUND: Immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) is a major cause of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). The International IgA Nephropathy Prediction Tool (IIgAN-PT) predicts IgAN prognosis, but improvement in the prediction performance using machine learning (ML)-based methods is needed. METHODS: We analyzed 4,425 biopsy-confirmed patients with IgAN and ≥6 months of follow-up from nine tertiary university hospitals in Korea. The study population was divided into development and validation cohorts.

SJR Q1Scientific ReportsOA

Kidney pathology of immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN), which is the key finding of both diagnosis and risk stratification, involves labor-intensive manual interpretation as well as unavoidable interpreter-dependent variabilities. We propose artificial intelligence-based frameworks for quantitatively analyzing glomerular histologic features that can predict kidney progression in IgAN. A deep learning model, based on DeepLabV3Plus and EfficientNet-B3, was developed for segmenting glomeruli and q
