Abstract
At present there is a growth of physical symptoms with psychological overlays, resulting in neurodevelopment disorders, where both psychiatrist and medical specialties work in collaboration to provide optimal care for the patients. Disorders such as autism spectrum disorder, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, sickle cell disease, and Alzheimer disease are more prevalent. These may have a genetic influence and give certain behavioural disturbances due to associated medical issues. The symptoms are observable in early childhood, and they may consist of comorbid medical disorders. This chapter addresses recent studies together with the applied techniques in this context. Further, this chapter shows the limitations, challenges in current practices, and possible future research directions.

An Investigation of AI Techniques for Detecting Kidney Stones in CT Scan Images Through Advanced Image Processing
Segmentation in image processing is the process of dividing an image into meaningful and distinct regions or segments based on certain characteristics or features. The goal is to simplify the representation of an image or make it more meaningful for analysis. Segmentation is commonly used in computer vision, medical imaging, and object recognition. Techniques include thresholding, region-based methods, and edge detection to identify and delineate different objects or regions within an image.

Virtual Reality for Supporting Surgical Planning
The aim of image segmentation is the partition of the image in homogeneous regions. Segmentation refers to the process of partitioning a digital image into multiple segments (sets of pixels). The goal of segmentation is to simplify and/or change the representation of an image into something that is more meaningful and easier to analyze. Image segmentation is typically used to locate objects and boundaries (lines, curves, etc.) in images. More precisely, image segmentation is the process of assigning a label to every pixel in an image such that pixels with the same label share certain visual characteristics. The result of image segmentation is a set of segments that collectively cover the entire image, or a set of contours extracted from the image (see edge detection). Each of the pixels in a region are similar with respect to some characteristic or computed property, such as color, intensity, or texture. Adjacent regions are significantly different with respect to the same characteristic(s). Appendix A shows the bone segmentation of the image.
