CDEMRIS fibrosis scar challenge data 2012

Late Gadolinium enhancement (LGE) cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging can be used to visualise regions of fibrosis and scarring in the left atrium (LA) myocardium. This can be important for treatment stratification of patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and for assessment of treatment after radio frequency catheter ablation (RFCA). In this segmentation challenge data, we aim to create a standardised evaluation benchmarking framework for algorithms segmenting fibrosis and scar from LGE CMR images. <br>There were algorithms submitted to the open challenge that was put to the medical imaging community through an ISBI (IEEE International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging) workshop.<br>Please cite this publication: Karim et al. Evaluation of current algorithms for segmentation of scar tissue from late Gadolinium enhancement cardiovascular magnetic resonance of the left atrium in Journal of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance, 15(105), 2013.
