[Rtk-users] CoronARe: a Coronary Artery Reconstruction Challenge - Call for Participation

[Serkan Cimen]

** Please excuse multiple copies.**

Dear RTK users,

We are organizing CoronARe: a Coronary Artery Reconstruction Challenge in
conjunction with RAMBO [1] at MICCAI’17.
CoronARe seeks to objectively compare current state-of-the-art methods as
we believe that the availability of public benchmarks will contribute to
drive forward this area.

CoronARe ranks state-of-the-art methods in symbolic and tomographic
coronary artery reconstruction from interventional C-arm rotational
angiography. Specifically, we will benchmark the performance of the methods
using accurately pre-processed data, and study the effects of imperfect
pre-processing conditions (segmentation and background subtraction errors).
The evaluation will be performed in a controlled environment using digital
phantom images.
For an in-depth description of the participation process kindly refer to:
https://challenge.kitware.com/#challenge/58c9469ecad3a532cfa20dd3
The challenge results and respective winners will be presented during the
RAMBO workshop on September 10th 2017.
Submission to CoronARe will remain open after MICCAI’17, however,
submissions later than September 5th, 2017 will not be considered for this
competition.

A reference to a previously published paper is sufficient for
participation.
We plan on inviting authors of successful methods to co-author a section in
an article about the challenge, describing their competing method.

Please feel free to forward this email to any colleague who might be
interested.

We are looking forward to your participation,
