◆Keimyung University Dongsan Hospital received 1st grade with 100 points in ‘depression outpatient appropriateness evaluation’
Keimyung University Dongsan Hospital received first grade with a comprehensive score of 100 points in the ‘2nd Depression Outpatient Appropriateness Evaluation’ announced by the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service.
This depression outpatient adequacy evaluation was conducted to improve accessibility and quality of medical services for patients with depression. We evaluated new outpatient patients with depression aged 18 or older from January to June 2023 at clinic-level or higher institutions across the country.
Keimyung University Dongsan Hospital has ▲Re-visit rate within 3 weeks after the first visit ▲Rate of 3 or more visits within 8 weeks after the first visit ▲Performance rate of initial evaluation of depressive symptoms ▲Re-evaluation rate of depressive symptoms ▲Continuation rate of antidepressant prescriptions for more than 84 days ▲Continuation rate of antidepressant prescriptions for more than 180 days Total In 6 evaluation items, the overall average score was 47.0 points. It recorded a score of over 100, showing its strength in outpatient treatment for depression.
◆Next Biomedical CEO Lee Don-haeng donates 100 million won in development funds to Inha University Hospital
Inha University Hospital announced on the 14th that Lee Don-haeng (professor of gastroenterology), CEO of Next Biomedical, an innovative bio solution company, recently donated 100 million won in development funds for the development of the hospital.
This donation aims to promote research by clinical professors and develop gastroenterology, and the hospital expects that it will be of great help to clinical research sites that are suffering due to cuts in overall R&D research expenses.
The development fund delivery ceremony held on the 11th was attended by Hospital Director Lee Taek, Biomedical Research Institute Director Choi Gwang-seong, External Cooperation Director Hyun Dong-geun, and Gastroenterology Department Chief Jeong Seok. At this event, CEO Lee expressed his intention to strengthen support for clinical research sites through donations.
He has been working in the Department of Gastroenterology at Inha University Hospital since 1996, and has served as the director of the Biomedical Research Institute for eight and a half years. It has been leading the development of innovative treatments through Next Biomedical, which was established in 2014, and is achieving results in domestic and overseas markets by listing on the KOSDAQ last August and signing a copyright agreement with global healthcare company Medtronic.
◆Professor Seok-Hyeon Lee of Hallym University Gangnam Sacred Heart Hospital received the Young Researcher Award at the Korean Society of Nuclear Medicine Fall Conference.
Professor Seok-Hyeon Lee of the Department of Radiology at Hallym University Gangnam Sacred Heart Hospital won the Young Researcher Award at the 63rd Korean Society of Nuclear Medicine Fall Conference held at the SC Convention Center (Korea Science and Technology Center) in Gangnam-gu, Seoul from November 1 to 2.
Professor Seok-Hyeon Lee received the award for presenting ‘Comparison of diagnostic performance between CNN and Transformer models using Grad-CAM for diagnosing bone metastases in bone scans.’
A bone scan is a test that shows bone activation areas through images, and is performed to check for bone inflammation, damage, and cancer metastasis. In particular, bone scans are mainly performed on patients with prostate cancer and breast cancer, where bone metastasis is relatively common. This is because bones in the entire body can be checked at once at a lower cost than CT or MRI, which reduces the burden on the patient.
Recently, artificial intelligence (AI) model research has been actively conducted in various medical images such as X-rays and endoscopy, but artificial intelligence research on bone scans is still limited. In particular, there is not much research on whether the latest artificial intelligence models with greatly improved performance, such as Transformer model or ConvNeXt, are useful in actual medical image diagnosis.
Professor Seok-Hyeon Lee’s research team (Professor Dong-Woo Kim, Department of Nuclear Medicine, Hallym University Sacred Heart Hospital, Professor Hye-Joo Son, Department of Nuclear Medicine, Dankook University Hospital, and Se-Hyun Park, Hallym University College of Medicine) compared the results of applying several latest artificial intelligence models to bone scans to find that the AI models are useful for diagnosis. presented the possibility that it could be used. This study attracted attention in that it cross-validated the performance of artificial intelligence models in bone scans not only with internal hospital data but also with external data.
