Medical Image Processing Competition in Japan

This paper describes a medical image processing competition held annually in Japan from 2002 to 2008. The purpose of the competition is to evaluate existing segmentation algorithms and boost this type of research in Japan. The targets of segmentation are a liver and a pancreas in a contrast-enhanced multiphase computed tomography volume. Several algorithms are pitted against each other in the competition and visually assessed by radiologists to determine their ranking.
