Announcing EMIDEC – automatic Evaluation of Myocardial Infarction from Delayed-Enhancemment Cardiac MRI

The EMIDEC challenge concerns the automatic processing delayed-enhancement MRI (DE-MRI) in the framework of myocardial infarction.

The two main objectives of the EMIDEC challenge are first to classify normal and pathological cases from the clinical information with or without DE-MRI, and secondly to automatically detect the different relevant areas (the myocardial contours, the infarcted area and the permanent microvascular obstruction area (no-reflow area)) from a series of short-axis DE-MRI covering the left ventricle. The segmentation allows us to make a quantification of the myocardium infection, in absolute value (mm3) or percentage of the myocardium.

The EMIDEC challenge then consists of two independent tasks

Task 1: Segmentation contest of the myocardium for all the DE-MRI exams, and the myocardial infarction and no-reflow areas on exams classified as pathologic ones. Contest done before the MICCAI conference.

Task 2: Classification contest of the exams in normal or pathological one, according to the clinical data with or without the DE-MRI exams (two sub-challenges, the first one from only the clinical informations, and the second one considering the clinical informations and the DE-MRI). Contest done online during the MICCAI conference.

We look forward to receiving your registration!
