In this paper we analyze a result previously published about a comparison between two statistical tests used for evaluation of boundary detection algorithms on medical images. We conclude that the statement made by Chalana and Kim (1997) about the performance of the percentage test has a weak theoretical foundation, and according to our results, is not correct. In addition, we propose a one-sided hypothesis test for which the acceptance region can be determined in advance, as opposed to the two-sided confidence intervals proposed in the original paper, which change according to the estimated quantity.

Pectus excavatum, also known as sunken chest or funnel chest, is a structural deformity of the anterior chest wall, characterized by an inward sternum. This condition can lead to respiratory and cardiovascular issues, although it is often addressed for aesthetic reasons. This perspective article reviews the experiences of multiple centers in treating pectus excavatum, to explore whether a clear boundary exists between pathological and aesthetic needs.

: Retinal vein occlusion (RVO) is a relatively uncommon condition with a complex pathophysiology. However, its association with traditional cardiovascular risk factors is well established. In this study, we compared arterial stiffness and endothelial function between patients with RVO and healthy controls.

Despite rapid progress in UAV-based infrared vehicle detection, achieving reliable target recognition remains challenging due to dynamic viewpoint variations and platform instability. The inherent limitations of infrared imaging, particularly low contrast ratios and thermal crossover effects, significantly compromise detection accuracy. Moreover, the computational constraints of edge computing platforms pose a fundamental challenge in balancing real-time processing requirements with detection performance.

Deep learning-based morphometric analysis of zebrafish is widely utilized for non-destructively identifying abnormalities and diagnosing diseases. However, obtaining discriminative and continuous organ category decision boundaries poses a significant challenge by directly observing zebrafish larvae from the outside. To address this issue, this study simplifies the organ areas to polygons and focuses solely on the endpoint positioning.
