BRATS 2012 - MICCAI 2012 Multimodal Brain Tumor Segmentation Challenge (MICCAI- BRATS)

MICCAI 2012 Multimodal Brain Tumor Segmentation Challenge (MICCAI-
BRATS)
http://www2.imm.dtu.dk/projects/BRATS2012
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
