Ajou University Professor Jung Won Lee (Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, pictured on the left above), Research Professor Mi Youn Lee, and Ye Seul Park (pictured on the right above), a student in the master’s course in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, won the Best Paper Award from the Korea Information Processing Society on April 24th during its Spring Academic Conference held at Sookmyung University.
 
Their paper topped the ranking of a total of 345 papers presented to the Society, with 24 other papers receiving Excellence Awards.
 
The Best Award paper combined information technology with medical issues, and it is entitled “Extracting Illness-related Features from Medical Images Involving Acute Myocardial Infarction Based on the Structure of Coronary Arteries.” The findings were the results of applying a combined model of medical images and different data, which focuses on the features of diseases, to acute myocardial infarction.
 
Ye Seul Park, the main author of the paper, explained: “For acute myocardial infarction, it is vital to examine the conditions of patients’ coronary arteries and take proper actions within the golden time. However, it is not easy to identify significant information from medical images that are being used for such purposes. In this research, we tried to identify only the information that is meaningful in medical terms from that which is included in the images and combined it in a way that helps practitioners understand the information in an intuitive and efficient manner.”
