Sarcopenia is not well known enough to be classified as a disease in 2021 in Korea, but it is recognized as a social problem in developed countries that have entered an aging society. The diagnosis of sarcopenia follows the international standard guidelines presented by the European Working Group for Sarcopenia in Older People (EWGSOP) and the d Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia (AWGS). Recently, it is recommended to evaluate muscle function by using physical performance evaluation, walking speed measurement, and standing test in addition to absolute muscle mass as a diagnostic method. As a representative method for measuring muscle mass, the body composition analysis method using DEXA has been formally implemented in clinical practice. In addition, various studies for measuring muscle mass using abdominal images of MRI or CT are being actively conducted. In this paper, we develop an AI image segmentation model based on abdominal images of CT with a relatively short imaging time for the diagnosis of sarcopenia and describe the multicenter validation. We developed an artificial intelligence model using U-Net that can automatically segment muscle, subcutaneous fat, and visceral fat by selecting the L3 region from the CT image. Also, to evaluate the performance of the model, internal verification was performed by calculating the intersection over union (IOU) of the partitioned area, and the results of external verification using data from other hospitals are shown. Based on the verification results, we tried to review and supplement the problems and solutions.

This study explored the use of artificial intelligence(AI) to detect foreign bodies in chest X-ray images. Medical imaging, especially chest X-rays, plays a crucial role in diagnosing diseases such as pneumonia and lung cancer. With the increase in imaging tests, AI has become an important tool for efficient and fast diagnosis. However, images can contain foreign objects, including everyday jewelry like buttons and bra wires, which can interfere with accurate readings. In this study, we developed an AI algorithm that accurately identifies these foreign objects and processed the National Institutes of Health chest X-ray dataset based on the YOLOv8 model. The results showed high detection performance with accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score all close to 0.91. Despite the excellent performance of AI, the study solved the problem that foreign objects in the image can distort the reading results, emphasizing the innovative role of AI in radiology and its reliability based on accuracy, which is essential for clinical implementation.

Background: By applying the suggested criteria for needs-based chronic medical care and long-term care delivery system for the elderly, the current status of delivery system was identified and regional delivery systems were categorized according to quantity and quality of delivery system. Methods: National claims data were used for this study. All claims data of medical and long-term care uses by the elderly and all claims data from long-term care hospitals and nursing homes in 2016 were analyzed to categorize the regional medical and long-term care delivery system. The current status of the delivery system with a high possibility of transition to a needs-based appropriate delivery system was identified. The necessary and actual amount of regional supply was calculated based on their needs, and the structure of delivery systems was evaluated in terms of the needs-based quality of the system. Finally, all regions were categorized into 15 types of medical and care delivery systems for the elderly. Results: Of the total 55 regions, 89.1% of regions had an oversupply of elderly medical and care services compared to the necessary supply based on their needs. However, 69.1% of regions met the criteria for less than two types of needs groups, and 21.8% of regions were identified as regions where the numbers of institutions or regions with a high possibility of transition to an appropriate delivery system were below the average levels for all four needs groups. Conclusion: In order to establish an appropriate community-based integrated elderly care system, it is necessary to analyze the characteristics of the regional delivery system categories and to plan a needs-based delivery system regionally.

As artificial intelligence develops rapidly, we can experience it in our everyday life such as with medical, education, and game applications. Traditional SW services were programmed explicitly by the intention of the programmer, and we have conducted evaluation on it. However, due to the uncertianty of AI services, risk follows to the products. Therefore, UX evaluations need to be different from traditional UX evaluations. Therefore, in this paper we suggest a AI-UX framework that consideres the task delegability, UX evaluations metrics, and individual differences.

의료 인공지능은 특정 진단에서 높은 정확도를 보이지만 모델의 신뢰성 문제로 인해 활발하게 쓰이지 못하고 있다. 이에 따라 인공지능 모델의 진단에 대한 원인 설명의 필요성이 대두되었고 설명가능한 의료 인공지능에 관한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 하지만 MRI 등 의료 영상 인공지능 분야에서 주로 진행되고 있으며, 이미지 형태가 아닌 전자의무기록 데이터 (Electronic Health Record, EHR) 를 기반으로 한 모델의 설명가능성 연구는 EHR 데이터 자체의 복잡성 때문에 활발하게 진행 되지 않고 있다. 본 논문에서는 전자의무기록 데이터인 MIMIC-III (Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care) 를 전처리 및 그래프로 표현하고, GCT (Graph Convolutional Transformer) 모델을 학습시켰다. 학습 후, 어텐션 흐름 그래프를 시각화해서 모델의 예측에 대한 직관적인 설명을 제공한다.

전자의무기록 (EMR)과 같은 의료 현장에서 수집되는 대용량의 데이터는 임상 해석적으로 잠재가치가 크고 활용도가 다양하나 결측값이 많아 희소성이 크다는 한계점이 있어 분석이 어렵다. 특히 EMR의 정보수집과정에서 발생하는 결측값은 무작위적이고 임의적이어서 분석 정확도를 낮추고 예측 모델의 성능을 저하시키는 주된 요인으로 작용하기 때문에, 결측치 대체는 필수불가결하다. 최근 통상적으로 활용되어지던 통계기반 알고리즘기반의 결측치 대체 알고리즘보다는 딥러닝 기술을 활용한 알고리즘들이 새로이 등장하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 Generative Adversarial Network를 기반한 최신 결측값 대치 알고리즘인 Generative Adversarial Imputation Nets을 적용하여 EMR에서의 성능을 분석해보고자 하였다.

This literature review explores artificial intelligence (AI) technology trends and IBM Watson health and medical references. This study explains how healthcare will be changed by the evolution of AI technology, and also summarizes key technologies in AI, specifically the technology of IBM Watson. We look at this issue from the perspective of 'information overload,' in that medical literature doubles every three years, with approximately 700,000 new scientific articles being published every year, in addition to the explosion of patient data. Estimates are also forecasting a shortage of oncologists, with the demand expected to grow by 42%. Due to this projected shortage, physicians won't likely be able to explore the best treatment options for patients in clinical trials. This issue can be addressed by the AI Watson motivation to solve healthcare industry issues. In addition, the Watson Oncology solution is reviewed from the end user interface point of view. This study also investigates global company platform business to explain how AI and machine learning technology are expanding in the market with use cases. It emphasizes ecosystem partner business models that can support startup and venture businesses including healthcare models. Finally, we identify a need for healthcare company partnerships to be reviewed from the aspect of solution transformation. AI and Watson will change a lot in the healthcare business. This study addresses what we need to prepare for AI, Cognitive Era those are understanding of AI innovation, Cloud Platform business, the importance of data sets, and needs for further enhancement in our knowledge base.

The clinical decision support system uses accumulated medical data to apply an AI model learned by machine learning to patient diagnosis and treatment prediction. However, the existing black box-based AI application does not provide a valid reason for the result predicted by the system, so there is a limitation in that it lacks explanation. To compensate for these problems, this paper proposes a system model that applies XAI that can be explained in the development stage of the clinical decision support system. The proposed model can supplement the limitations of the black box by additionally applying a specific XAI technology that can be explained to the existing AI model. To show the application of the proposed model, we present an example of XAI application using LIME and SHAP. Through testing, it is possible to explain how data affects the prediction results of the model from various perspectives. The proposed model has the advantage of increasing the user's trust by presenting a specific reason to the user. In addition, it is expected that the active use of XAI will overcome the limitations of the existing clinical decision support system and enable better diagnosis and decision support.
