The Longitudinal MS Lesion Segmentation Challenge was conducted at the [http://biomedicalimaging.org/2015 2015 International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging] in New York, NY, April 16-19. Competing teams applied their automatic lesion segmentation algorithms to MR neuroimaging data acquired at multiple time points from MS patients. Algorithms were evaluated against manual segmentations from two raters in terms of their segmentation accuracy and ability to track lesion evolution.

{{h3|II. Data}}
 
The overall data will be composed of three parts: 1) Training data consisting of longitudinal images from 5 patients; 2) Test data 1 consisting of longitudinal images from 10 patients; and 3) Test data 2 consisting of longitudinal images from 5 patients. Only the training data will include manual delineations when it is released to teams. These delineations will be performed by at least 2 trained raters. Test data 1 will be released in advance of the challenge day and test data 2 will be released on or shortly before the challenge day to discourage patient-specific tuning of the algorithms and computationally inefficient approaches.
 
 
 
Each longitudinal dataset will include T1-weighted, T2-weighted, PD-weighted, and T2-weighted FLAIR MRI with 3-5 time points acquired on a 3T MR scanner. T1-weighted images will have approximately a 1mm cubic voxel resolution, while the other scans will be 1mm in plane with 3mm sections. Accounting for the multiple time points, this constitutes approximately 80 individual data sets. To minimize the dependency of the results on registration performance and brain extraction, all images will be provided already rigidly co-registered to the baseline T1-weighted image with automatically computed skull stripping masks that may optionally be used by the teams.
 
 
 
The training and test data will continue to be made publicly available following the challenge, similar to the [http://www.ia.unc.edu/MSseg/ MICCAI 2008 Lesion Challenge] data. Manual delineations on the test data will not be made available to the public but the organizers will provide evaluation results for any submitted segmentations.  '''A public website for disseminating the data is currently in development.'''
 
 
 
 
 
{{h3|III. Evaluation}}
 
Here are some [[MSChallenge/guidelines|initial guidelines]].
 
 
 
The evaluation software can be downloaded as {{iacl|~aaron/isbi2015/challengemetrics_matlab_only.zip|Matlab Dot M files}} (339KB) and as a compiled {{iacl|~aaron/isbi2015/challengemetrics.zip|Matlab executable}} (46MB). The evaluation metric currently include: Dice Overlap, Jaccard Overlap, PPV (positive predictive value), TPR (sensitivity, voxel based), LTPR (lesion TPR based on lesion count), LFPR (lesion FPR based on lesion count),
 
Volume Difference, Surface Difference, Segmentation Volume, Volume Change Correlation, New lesion detection TPR, and New lesion detection FPR.

I. Introduction

2015 Longitudinal Multiple Sclerosis Lesion Segmentation Challenge

The Longitudinal MS Lesion Segmentation Challenge was conducted at the 2015 International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging in New York, NY, April 16-19. Competing teams applied their automatic lesion segmentation algorithms to MR neuroimaging data acquired at multiple time points from MS patients. Algorithms were evaluated against manual segmentations from two raters in terms of their segmentation accuracy and ability to track lesion evolution.

34 Teams initially registered for the Challenge coming from 15 different countries, representing 27 different institutions/universities. Congratulations to Team IIT Madras (First Prize), Team PVG_1 (Second Prize), and Team IMI (Third Prize and Efficiency Prize)!

Information about the data is available here, and the evaluation software from here.
