Activity Overview
CT diagnosis of COVID-19
Challenge ParticipantCoronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has infected more than 1.3 million individuals all over the world and caused more than 106,000 deaths. One major hurdle in controlling the spreading of this disease is the inefficiency and shortage of medical tests. To mitigate the inefficiency and shortage of existing tests for COVID-19, we propose this competition to encourage the development of effective Deep Learning techniques to diagnose COVID-19 based on CT images. The problem we want to solve is to classify each CT image into positive COVID-19 (the image has clinical findings of COVID-19) or negative COVID-19 ( the image does not have clinical findings of COVID-19). It’s a binary classification problem based on CT images.
LNQ2023
Challenge ParticipantAccurate lymph node size estimation is critical for staging cancer patients, initial therapeutic management, and in longitudinal scans, assessing response to therapy. Current standard practice for quantifying lymph node size is based on a variety of criteria that use unidirectional or bidirectional measurements on just one or a few nodes, typically on just one axial slice. But humans have hundreds of lymph nodes, any number of which may be enlarged to various degrees due to disease or immune response. While a normal lymph node may be approximately 5mm in diameter, a diseased lymph node may be several cm in diameter. The mediastinum, the anatomical area between the lungs and around the heart, may contain ten or more lymph nodes, often with three or more enlarged greater than 1cm. Accurate segmentation in 3D would provide more information to evaluate lymph node disease.
