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.
  • (May 30, 2024) Validation Data Release: Participants can use the validation dataset comprising 10 CTA scans to validate their algorithms and make necessary improvements.
  • (July 30, 2024) Development Phase End: Initial development closes at 11:59 PM (EST)



Final Test Phase

  • (July 31, 2024) Submission Phase Begin: Starting from July 15, 2024, participants can submit their final solutions. Submissions should be in the form of Docker containers, ensuring reproducibility and consistency.
  • (August 31, 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.
