Activity Overview
Breast Cancer Segmentation
Challenge UserSemantic segmentation of histologic regions in scanned FFPE H&E stained slides of triple-negative breast cancer from The Cancer Genome Atlas. See: Amgad M, Elfandy H, ..., Gutman DA, Cooper LAD. Structured crowdsourcing enables convolutional segmentation of histology images. Bioinformatics. 2019. doi: 10.1093/bioinformatics/btz083
SARAS-MESAD
Challenge UserThis challenge is organized under MICCAI 2021, the 24th International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer Assisted Intervention. The event will be held from September 27th to October 1st 2021 in Strasbourg, France. The challenge focuses on multi-domain surgeon action detection.
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.
DFUC 2024
Challenge UserDiabetes is a global epidemic affecting around 425 million people and expected to rise to 629 million by 2045. Diabetic Foot Ulcer (DFU) is a severe condition that can result from the disease. The rise of the condition over the last decades is a challenge for healthcare systems. Cases of DFU usually lead to severe conditions that greatly prolongs treatment and result in limb amputation or death. Recent research focuses on creating detection algorithms to monitor their condition to improve patient care and reduce strain on healthcare systems. Work between Manchester Metropolitan University, Lancashire Teaching Hospitals and Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust has created an international repository of up to 11,000 DFU images. Analysis of ulcer regions is a key for DFU management. Delineation of ulcers is time-consuming. With effort from the lead scientists of the UK, US, India and New Zealand, this challenge promotes novel work in DFU segmentation and promote interdisciplinary researcher collaboration.
3D Teeth Scan Segmentation and Labeling Challenge MICCAI2022
Challenge UserComputer-aided design (CAD) tools have become increasingly popular in modern dentistry for highly accurate treatment planning. In particular, in orthodontic CAD systems, advanced intraoral scanners (IOSs) are now widely used as they provide precise digital surface models of the dentition. Such models can dramatically help dentists simulate teeth extraction, move, deletion, and rearrangement and therefore ease the prediction of treatment outcomes. Although IOSs are becoming widespread in clinical dental practice, there are only few contributions on teeth segmentation/labeling available in the literature and no publicly available database. A fundamental issue that appears with IOS data is the ability to reliably segment and identify teeth in scanned observations. Teeth segmentation and labelling is difficult as a result of the inherent similarities between teeth shapes as well as their ambiguous positions on jaws.
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.
ToothFairy: Cone-Beam Computed Tomography Segmentation Challenge
Challenge UserThis is the first edition of the ToothFairy challenge organized by the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia with the collaboration of Raudboud University. This challenge aims at pushing the development of deep learning frameworks to segment the Inferior Alveolar Canal (IAC) by incrementally extending the amount of publicly available 3D-annotated Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) scans. CBCT modality is becoming increasingly important for treatment planning and diagnosis in implant dentistry and maxillofacial surgery. The three-dimensional information acquired with CBCT can be crucial to plan a vast number of surgical interventions with the aim of preserving noble anatomical structures such as the Inferior Alveolar Canal (IAC), which contains the homonymous nerve (Inferior Alveolar Nerve, IAN). Deep learning models can support medical personnel in surgical planning procedures by providing a voxel-level segmentation of the IAN automatically extracted from CBCT scans.
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.

Diminished Reality for Emerging Applications in Medicine
Challenge UserThe Diminished Reality for Emerging Applications in Medicine through Inpainting (DREAMING) challenge seeks to pioneer the integration of Diminished Reality (DR) into oral and maxillofacial surgery. While Augmented Reality (AR) has been extensively explored in medicine, DR remains largely uncharted territory. DR involves virtually removing real objects from the environment by replacing them with their background. Recent inpainting methods present an opportunity for real-time DR applications without scene knowledge. DREAMING focuses on implementing such methods to fill obscured regions in surgery scenes with realistic backgrounds, emphasizing the complex facial anatomy and patient diversity. The challenge provides a dataset of synthetic yet photorealistic surgery scenes featuring humans, simulating an operating room setting. Participants are tasked with developing algorithms that seamlessly remove disruptions caused by medical instruments and hands, offering surgeons an unimpeded view of the operative site.
