Abstract

Surgery plays a key role in treating neuroblastoma. To assist surgical planning, anatomical 3D models derived from the segmentation of anatomical structures on MRI scans are often used. Automation using deep learning can make segmentations less time-consuming and more reliable. We organized the Surgical Planning in PedIatric Neuroblastoma (SPPIN) challenge, to stimulate developments and benchmarki…
