MICCAI 2012 - Multimodal Brain Tumor Segmentation Challenge

Because of their unpredictable appearance and shape, segmenting brain tumors from multi-modal imaging data is one of the most challenging tasks in medical image analysis. Although many different segmentation strategies have been proposed in the literature. In order to gauge the current state-of-the-art in automated brain tumor segmentation and compare between different methods, we are organizing a Multimodal Brain Tumor Segmentation (BRATS) challenge in conjunction with the MICCAI 2012 conference. It will take place Oct 1st, during MICCAI in Nice, France.

MICCAI MCV - Medical Computer Vision Workshop

The workshop aims at exploring the use of modern image recognition technology in tasks such as semantic anatomy parsing, automatic segmentation and quantification, anomaly detection and categorization, data harvesting, semantic navigation and visualization, data organization and clustering, and general-purpose automatic understanding of medical images. The first workshop took place Sept 20th, during MICCAI in Beijing, China. The second will take place Oct 1st, during MICCAI in Nice, France.
