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.

On February 21, Thomas Herrmann presented his work on thermal camera calibration during the CoReS seminar. The slides of his presentation are available here.

This Thursday, November 12, Abir Zendagui and Gaétan Le Goïc presented to the team their work on the project they are carrying out with Marvin Nurit and Alamin Mansouri.

They then produced a demo of their platform with Yuly Castro.
