Model Development Phase

  • (May 6, 2024) Training Dataset Release: The training dataset comprising 50 CTA scans will be made available to all participants. The participating teams will develop their algorithms for 3D segmentation of the aortic branches and zones using the training dataset.
  • (June 6, 2024) Validation Data Release: Participants can use the validation dataset comprising 10 CTA scans to validate their algorithms and make necessary improvements.
  • (August 23, 2024) Development Phase End: Initial development closes at 11:59 PM (EST)

Final Test Phase

  • (September 18, 2024) Submission Phase Begin: Starting from September 18th, 2024, participants can submit their final solutions. Submissions should be in the form of Docker containers, ensuring reproducibility and consistency. 12:00 AM (EST)
  • (September 30, 2024) Submission Deadline: Final submissions submitted to Grand-Challenge.org by 11:59 PM (EST)

Challenge Conclusions

  • (October 6, 2024) Winners Announcement + Oral Presentation: The top five teams, based on their algorithm’s performance, will be invited for an oral presentation. Participants will have the opportunity to discuss their approaches, challenges, and results. The top five teams will be announced.
