Tasks<\/span><\/h1>\n

Participants are tasked with developing algorithms that can effectively detect and classify Mycetoma from histopathological images.<\/p>\n

Task 1: Detection of Mycetoma Grains<\/span><\/h3>\n
    \n
  • Objective:<\/strong>\u00a0Develop an algorithm capable of\u00a0accurately detecting the presence of Mycetoma grains<\/strong>\u00a0within the provided histopathological images.<\/li>\n
  • Background:<\/strong>\u00a0Mycetoma grains are indicative of the disease, and their accurate detection is crucial for correct diagnosis and subsequent treatment planning.<\/li>\n
  • Output Specification:<\/strong>\u00a0Algorithms should output the boundary definitions of each detected Mycetoma grain within the images.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Task 2: Classification of Mycetoma Type<\/span><\/h3>\n
      \n
    • Objective: Classify detected Mycetoma grains<\/strong>\u00a0into one of two categories:\u00a0Actinomycetoma\u00a0<\/strong>(caused by bacteria) or\u00a0Eumycetoma\u00a0<\/strong>(caused by fungi).<\/li>\n
    • Background:<\/strong>\u00a0The type of Mycetoma significantly affects treatment decisions. Actinomycetoma is generally treated with antibiotics, while Eumycetoma often requires antifungal medications and sometimes surgical intervention.<\/li>\n
    • Output Specification:<\/strong>\u00a0For each detected Mycetoma grain, the algorithm should output a classification label indicating whether it is Actinomycetoma or Eumycetoma.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Data Use and Integration<\/span><\/h3>\n
        \n
      • Participants are encouraged to utilize the training data provided to develop their detection and classification models. While additional external data and\/or pre-trained models can be incorporated, transparency in their use is required for submission evaluation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Algorithm Development<\/span><\/h3>\n
          \n
        • Development Environment:<\/strong>\u00a0Participants may choose their development environment and tools but must ensure that their submission is compatible with the evaluation platform specified by the challenge organizers.<\/li>\n
        • Interpretability:<\/strong>\u00a0While not a requirement, the ability to explain decisions made by the algorithm will be viewed favourably, as it enhances trust in automated systems by clinicians.<\/li>\n
        • Participants are encouraged to share their codes in the public repositories.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
