{% endblock %} {% block content %}Every year, thousands of papers are published that describe new algorithms to be applied to medical and biomedical images, and various new products appear on the market based on such algorithms. But few papers and products provide a fair and direct comparison of the newly proposed solution with the state-of-the-art. We believe that such comparisons can help the research community and industry to develop better algorithms. We support the organization of these comparative studies and the dissemination of their results.
Organizing and participating in challenges is not the only way to facilitate better comparisons between new and existing solutions. If it were easy to publish and share your data, and the code you used to evaluate your algorithm's performance on that data, and possibly the algorithm itself, others could directly compare their approach to yours, using the same test data and the same evaluation metrics. With this site we provide tools to make it as easy as possible for you to publish your data and your evaluation for any paper you've written.
Why Challenges? describes the rationale
for organizing grand challenges, provides advice for those who
want to organize such events, and discusses where we hope the
field will move to next.
All Challenges provides an
overview of
all previous, ongoing and upcoming challenges in biomedical image
analysis that we are aware of. Drop us a note if you want your
event listed on this overview.
Create your own challenge
explains how you can set up your own challenge site in a matter of
minutes.
Grand challenges in medical image analysis would not be possible without the support and enthusiasm from all contributors.
