Toward real world medical image analysis
Comprehensive Analysis & computing of REal-world medical images (CARE2025)
Motivation
Medical image analysis empowered by AI has significantly reshaped medicine. However, real-world medical image analysis poses significant challenges for medical AI, including domain shifts due to diverse imaging protocols and medical centers, variability in pathological regions of interest (ROIs) such as lesions and scars, and limited generalization capabilities of existing deep learning models. This challenge aims to encourage the development of novel and effective methods that facilitate the translation of medical AI into real-world clinical practice.
Tracks
This challenge consists of four challenging tracks and encompasses imaging data from over 1300 patients collected across three continents, capturing diverse acquisition protocols, clinical centers, and patient populations. Participants can explore each track below to access the corresponding datasets and detailed task descriptions.
CARE-Cardiac: Unified Cardiac Sturcture and Pathology Segmentation
CARE-MyoPS: Myocardial Pathology Segmentation
CARE-WHS: Whole Heart Segmentation
CARE-Liver: Liver Segmentation and Fibrosis Staging
