Activity Overview
ToothFairy: Cone-Beam Computed Tomography Segmentation Challenge
Challenge ParticipantThis 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 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.
SEG.A. - Segmentation of the Aorta
Challenge ParticipantSegmentation, 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.
