Activity Overview
fastPET-LD
Challenge UserThe purpose of this challenge is the detection of “hot spots” in fast PET scan, that is locations that have an elevated standard uptake value (SUV) and potential clinical significance. Corresponding CT scans are also provided. The ground truth, common to both datasets, was generated by a nuclear medicine expert. It consists of a 3-D segmentation map of the hot spots as well as a text file containing the position and size of 3D cuboid bounding box for each hot spot.
PUMA: Panoptic segmentation of nUclei and tissue in MelanomA
Challenge UserThe PUMA Challenge aims to enhance nuclei and tissue segmentation in melanoma histopathology, addressing the need for better prognostic biomarkers to predict treatment responses. Melanoma, a highly aggressive skin cancer, often requires immune checkpoint inhibition therapy, but only half of patients respond. Prognostic biomarkers like tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) correlate with better therapy responses and lower recurrence rate, but manual TIL scoring is subjective and inconsistent. Current deep learning methods underperform. The PUMA dataset includes annotated primary and metastatic melanoma regions to improve segmentation techniques. The challenge includes two tracks with tasks focused on tissue and nuclei segmentation, encouraging advanced methods to improve predictive accuracy.
