Activity Overview
Parse2022
Challenge UserIt is of significant clinical interest to study pulmonary artery structures in the field of medical image analysis. One prerequisite step is to segment pulmonary artery structures from CT with high accuracy and low time-consuming. The segmentation of pulmonary artery structures benefits the quantification of its morphological changes for diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension and thoracic surgery. However, due to the complexity of pulmonary artery topology, automated segmentation of pulmonary artery topology is a challenging task. Besides, the open accessible large-scale CT data with well labeled pulmonary artery are scarce (The large variations of the topological structures from different patients make the annotation an extremely challenging process). The lack of well labeled pulmonary artery hinders the development of automatic pulmonary artery segmentation algorithm. Hence, we try to host the first Pulmonary ARtery SEgmentation challenge in MICCAI 2022 (Named Parse2022) to start a new research topic.
Multi-site, Multi-Domain Airway Tree Modeling (ATM’22)
Challenge UserAirway segmentation is a crucial step for the analysis of pulmonary diseases including asthma, bronchiectasis, and emphysema. The accurate segmentation based on X-Ray computed tomography (CT) enables the quantitative measurements of airway dimensions and wall thickness, which can reveal the abnormality of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Besides, the extraction of patient-specific airway models from CT images is required for navigatiisted surgery.
LNQ2023
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.
SEG.A. - Segmentation of the Aorta
Challenge UserSegmentation, modeling and visualization of the arterial tree are still a challenge in medical image analysis. The main track of this challenge deals with the fully automatic segmentation of the aortic vessel tree in computed tomography images. Optionally, teams can submit tailored solutions for meshing and visualization of the vessel tree.
