Activity Overview
CT diagnosis of COVID-19
Challenge UserCoronavirus 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.
HEad and neCK TumOR Lesion Segmentation, Diagnosis and Prognosis
Challenge UserHECKTOR 2025 is the next iteration of a medical imaging challenge focused on improving automated analysis of head and neck cancer using multimodal PET/CT data. The challenge features three complementary tasks that span the clinical workflow: automatic detection and segmentation of primary tumors and lymph nodes, prediction of recurrence-free survival using imaging and clinical data, and diagnosis of HPV status, which is crucial for treatment decisions. The 2025 edition significantly expands on previous challenges with a larger dataset exceeding, refined evaluation metrics that better assess both detection and segmentation capabilities, and the addition of radiotherapy planning dose maps as an information channel. This challenge aims to advance the development of clinical tools that can aid in treatment planning, outcome prediction, and diagnosis in head and neck cancer patients, ultimately supporting more personalized patient management approaches.
