Dear all,

On August 16, the test phase of the SynthRAD Challenge will officially open! This marks the most exciting part of the competition, where your algorithms will be evaluated on a hidden test set — one you’ve never seen or accessed before.

🚨 Important update on dose calculations
After extensive testing, we regret to inform you that dose calculations using the desired grid spacing are not compatible with the computational environment provided by Grand Challenge.
As a result, dose re-calculations and related metric evaluations will be performed offline by the organizers.
This means the leaderboard will remain incomplete until the test phase ends on August 15. We expect to provide a finalized leaderboard by the end of August.

Final submission checklist

As you prepare your final algorithm, please keep the following in mind:

  • ✅ Test your algorithm in the related preliminary phase (Task 1 or Task 2).
    ⛔ Only one submission will be accepted during the test phase.
  • 📄 Submit a paper describing your method in LNCS short or long format, following the submission checklist.
    ⚠️ Submissions missing required elements may be excluded.
  • 📝 Complete the form for Task 1 or Task 2, reporting your method’s details.
  • 🖊️ Sign and return any required prize acceptance documents.
  • 📚 Commit to citing the SynthRAD data challenge paper and data overview paper in any related publications.
  • 🧑‍💻 The top 3 teams per task must openly share their code within 10 days of the winner announcement.
    All other teams are strongly encouraged to do so, though it's not mandatory.
  • 🎤 The winning teams (or a delegate) must be able to present in person at SASHIMI.

We’re eagerly awaiting your final submissions and the exciting innovations you’ve developed.
Let the final phase begin!

Best regards,
The SynthRAD Organizing Team
