  • Introduction: Mammography is the most basic modality in breast cancer imaging. However, the overlap of breast tissue depicted on conventional two-dimensional mammography (2DMMG) may create significant obstacles to detecting abnormalities, especially in dense or heterogeneously dense breasts. In three-dimensional digital breast tomosynthesis (3DBT), tomographic images of the breast are reconstructed from multiple projections acquired at different angles. It has reported that this technology allows the generation of 3D data, therefore overcoming the limitations of conventional 2DMMG for Western women. We assessed the detectability of lesions by conventional 2DMMG and 3DBT in diagnosis of breast cancer for Japanese women. Methods: The subjects were 195 breasts of 99 patients (median age of 48 years, range 34~82 years) that had been pathologically diagnosed with breast cancer from December 20, 2010 through March 31, 2011. Both conventional 2DMMG and 3DBT imaging were performed for all patients. Detectability of lesions was assessed based on differences in category class. Results: Of the affected breasts, 77 (75.5%) had lesions assigned to the same categories by 2DMMG and 3DBT. For 24 (23.5%) lesions, the category increased in 3DBT indicating improvement in diagnostic performance compared to 2DMMG. 3DBT improved diagnostic sensitivity for patients with mass, focal asymmetric density (FAD), and architectural distortion. However, 3DBT was not statistically superior in diagnosis of the presence or absence of calcification. Conclusions: In this study, 3DBT was superior in diagnosing lesions in form of mass, FAD, and/or architectural distortion. 3DBT is a novel technique that may provide a breakthrough in solving the difficulties of diagnosis caused by parenchyma overlap for Japanese women.

  • 자연어처리 분야 중 질의응답 태스크는 전통적으로 많은 연구가 이뤄지고 있는 분야이며, 최근 밀집 벡터를 사용한 리트리버(Dense Retriever)가 성공함에 따라 위키피디아와 같은 방대한 정보를 활용하여 답변하는 오픈 도메인 QA(Open-domain Question Answering) 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 대표적인 검색 모델인 DPR(Dense Passage Retriever)은 바이 인코더(Bi-encoder) 구조의 리트리버로서, BERT 모델 기반의 질의 인코더(Query Encoder) 및 문단 인코더(Passage Encoder)를 통해 임베딩한 벡터 간의 유사도를 비교하여 문서를 검색한다. 하지만, BERT와 같이 엔티티(Entity) 정보에 대해 추가적인 학습을 하지 않은 언어모델을 기반으로 한 리트리버는 엔티티 정보가 중요한 질문에 대한 답변 성능이 저조하다. 본 논문에서는 엔티티 중심의 질문에 대한 답변 성능 향상을 위해, 엔티티를 잘 이해할 수 있는 LUKE 모델 기반의 리트리버를 제안한다. KorQuAD 1.0 데이터셋을 활용하여 한국어 리트리버의 학습 데이터셋을 구축하고, 모델별 리트리버의 검색 성능을 비교하여 제안하는 방법의 성능 향상을 입증한다.

  • Background/Aims: Endoscopic band ligation (EBL) is used to treat colonic diverticular bleeding (CDB). An endoscopic variceal ligation device for esophageal varices is used as a conventional EBL device (C-EBL). A new EBL device (N-EBL) was developed by Sumitomo Bakelite Co. in August 2018. We aimed to evaluate the clinical outcomes of N-EBL compared with those of C-EBL. Methods: Seventy-nine patients who underwent EBL for CDB at St. Luke's International Hospital, Japan, between 2017 and 2020 were included in this retrospective study. Patients were divided into the C-EBL and N-EBL groups. Their clinical outcomes, including achieving initial hemostasis, early rebleeding, procedure time, and EBL-associated adverse events, were evaluated. Results: Of the 79 patients, 36 (45.6%) were in the C-EBL group and 43 (54.4%) were in the N-EBL group. The rate of achieving initial hemostasis was 100% in the C-EBL group and 93.0% in the N-EBL group. No significant difference was noted in the early rebleeding rate between the groups (p=0.24). The N-EBL group achieved a shorter median EBL procedure time than the C-EBL group (14.2 minutes vs. 18.2 minutes, p=0.02). No adverse events were observed in either group. Conclusions: The N-EBL device is safe and useful and may reduce EBL procedure time.
