Workshop during MICCAI 2012 in Nice, France

October 1st 2012

DATA & CHALLENGE DESCRIPTION:

We will provide preprocessed (co-registered, skull-stripped,

resampled) and annotated training data from glioma patients with low-

and high-grade disease. Voxel labels are 'edema' and 'tumor core'.

The data sets comprise synthetically generated tumor images as well as

real data acquired from different patients prior to and post

therapy.

MR image contrasts are T1, contrast-enhanced T1-gad, T2-FLAIR, T2.

Training data can be downloaded NOW (30 patient data sets, 50

synthetic data sets), test data will be evaluated as on-site challenge

during MICCAI 2012.

The tumor segmentation methods of all participants will be ranked

using Dice score, Hausdorff distance, etc.

All automated, semi-automated or inter-active tumor segmentation

approaches are permitted. Performances will be evaluated separately.

PARTICIPATION IN A NUT-SHELL:

* NOW: download the training data and adjust your tumor segmentation

method

* before Jul 3rd: submit a 2-4 page paper that describes your method;

there is a quick review and decisions are out by Jul 6th

* before Aug 15th: register to the workshop via the MICCAI conference

* [Jul-Sep: continue adjusting your method if you want to]

* Oct 1st: attend the on-site challenge in Nice, get the test data,

present your method, report results

* [Oct 1st + a few hours: report late results if your method has not

finished by the end of the day]

* Oct-Nov: contribute to the joint journal paper
