Dear participants,

It is my pleasure to announce that we are now open for submissions to the Final Phase of the HaN-Seg Challenge. The test set has expanded to include 14 CT and MR image pairs, featuring the 4 from the Preliminary Test Phase and an additional 10, as promised in our earlier communication here.

We strongly encourage you to utilize the time remaining before the challenge concludes to put the finishing touches on your methods and make any necessary improvements. We understand that preparing the Docker algorithm image can be a challenge in itself 😉, and we want you to know that we are here to support you with any guidance you may require.

Should you encounter any challenges along the way, please do not hesitate to reach out to me via email at gasper.podobnik@fe.uni-lj.si. It's essential to note that if your Docker execution encounters issues, we may not be able to contact you directly, as your email addresses are not displayed in your Grand Challenge profile. Therefore, we kindly ask that you take the initiative and drop us an email in such cases.

We eagerly anticipate the evaluation of your methods and are thrilled to share the exciting news that members of the HaN-Seg 2023 teams will have the opportunity to qualify as co-authors on an upcoming high-impact journal paper summarizing the findings of this challenge. Please refer to this website for details.

Best regards, Gasper
