CoronARe: A Coronary Artery Reconstruction Challenge

CoronARe ranks state-of-the-art methods in symbolic and tomographic coronary artery reconstruction from interventional C-arm rotational angiography. Specifically, we benchmark the performance of the methods using accurately pre-processed data, and study the effects of imperfect pre-processing conditions (segmentation and background subtraction errors). In this first iteration of the challenge, evaluation is performed in a controlled environment using digital phantom images, where accurate 3D ground truth is known.
