Activity Overview
IDRiD
Challenge UserThis challenge evaluates automated techniques for analysis of fundus photographs. We target segmentation of retinal lesions like exudates, microaneurysms, and hemorrhages and detection of the optic disc and fovea. Also, we seek grading of fundus images according to the severity level of DR and DME.

Challenge UserAccurate 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.
