2009 Prostate segmentation challenge MICCAI

Goal

To discuss the state-of-art segmentation of Prostate MRI in the context of MRI-guided prostate therapy, through comparison of the segmentation methods using sample data.

Rule

1. Download 3D Slicer for viewing and manipulating the dataset we provide.
2. (Optional) Download the tutorial and its associated images regarding prostate image processing from Slicer's website.
3. Download the Prostate MRI and the manual segmentation (as training data) from the website of National Center for Image Guided Therapy (PI: Jolesz and Tempany).
4. Download the Prostate MRI of the challenge subject.
5. Submit segmentation results with the paper describing the method developed and applied.
6. the organizer will score the segmentation result by comparing it with manual segmentation of the expert using the announced comparison scheme.
7. Repeat step above at the workshop.
