A novel image enhancement approach called entropy-based adaptive subhistogram equalization (EASHE) is put forward in this paper. The proposed algorithm divides the histogram of input image into four segments based on the entropy value of the histogram, and the dynamic range of each subhistogram is adjusted. A novel algorithm to adjust the probability density function of the gray level is proposed, which can adaptively control the degree of image enhancement. Furthermore, the final contrast-enhanced image is obtained by equalizing each subhistogram independently. The proposed algorithm is compared with some state-of-the-art HE-based algorithms. The quantitative results for a public image database named CVG-UGR-Database are statistically analyzed. The quantitative and visual assessments show that the proposed algorithm outperforms most of the existing contrast-enhancement algorithms. The proposed method can make the contrast of image more effectively enhanced as well as the mean brightness and details well preserved.

Cervical spine considerations in Goldenhar syndrome: a clinical perspective.
Childs Nerv Syst
December 2024
NJ Craniofacial Center, Morristown, NJ, 07960, USA.
Background: Goldenhar syndrome is a clinically heterogeneous disorder defined by a rare combination of congenital anomalies-an eye abnormality, in addition to two of the following three: ear anomalies, mandibular malformations, and vertebral defects. Notably, children with Goldenhar syndrome present with a high incidence of cervical spine malformations.
Clinical Case: In this report, we present an unusual case of a 15-year-old child with Goldenhar syndrome, who additionally presents with some clinical features of VACTERL syndrome.
Methodology for pediatric head computed tomography image segmentation and volumetric calculation using a tablet computer and stylus pen.

Department of Neurosurgery, Osaka Women's and Children's Hospital, Izumi, Osaka, 594-1101, Japan.
Purpose: This study presents a MATrix LABoratory (MATLAB)-based methodology for calculating intracranial volumes from head computed tomography (CT) data and compares it with established methods.
Methods: Regions of interest (ROI) were manually segmented on CT images using a stylus pen, facilitated by mirroring a computer desktop onto a tablet. The volumetric process involved three main steps: (1) calculating the volume of a single voxel, (2) counting the total number of voxels within the segmented ROI, and (3) multiplying this voxel count by the single-voxel volume.

We report the case of a 78-year-old patient with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of the right coronary artery, subsequently found to have a large subepicardial mass. The patient underwent a non-invasive multimodal diagnostic work-up including cardiac computed tomography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, which led to the diagnosis of subepicardial hematoma following coronary perforation during primary PCI. Due to clinical stability and absence of active bleeding sources, the patient was managed conservatively with gradual absorption of the mass and favorable prognostic outcome.

Background: Postoperative complications are prone to occur in patients after radical pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). This study aimed to construct and validate a model for predicting postoperative major complications in patients after PD.
Methods: The clinical data of 360 patients who underwent PD were retrospectively collected from two centers between January 2019 and December 2023.

We report the case of a 60-year-old man diagnosed with unilateral, solitary, extramedullary plasmacytoma located in the right lacrimal sac fossa, with no systemic involvement. This rare plasma cell dyscrasia is usually found in the respiratory tract. Clinical and radiological features of the mass and histopathological results are described.
