I have a unique career in radiology. I had dual radiology training in Korea and in the United States. I served as faculty member for many years at both Cornell and Asan Medical Center which is the largest and the best institution in Korea, For almost 30 years my practice, education, and research has been focued in body image, particularly hepatobiliary-pancreas image.

After the fellowship, I joined the departmnet as a facuty member until 1986 when I returned to Korea to take a chair of radiology department at the brand new hospital. It became the largest and one of the best institution in Korea in short period time. After I stepped down from the chair, I returned back to the States in 2000 and rejoined the department of radiology at Cornell as a division chief of body image.
