Motivation
Aim
Unlike previous Challenges that evaluated the staining patterns present in IHC, this Grand Challenge new edition proposes to find an image analysis algorithm to identify with high sensitivity and specificity HER2 positive BC from HER2 negative BC specimens evaluating only the morphological features present on the hematoxylin and eosin (HE) slide.
Challenge organization
The challenge organization results from a cooperation between Instituto de Investigação and Inovação em Saúde (i3S, IPATIMUP, INEB) and Instituto de Engenharia de Sistemas e Computadores, Tecnologia e Ciência (INESC TEC), from Porto University, Portugal. The team as a whole has experience in machine learning and computer vision, has medical expertise, and has experience in organizing previous challenges. Specifically, the present Grand Challenge is organized by:
- Conde-Sousa, Eduardo (PhD) - i3S/INEB
- Araújo, Teresa (PhD student) - INESC TEC and Faculty of Engineering of Universidade do Porto
- Aresta, Guilherme (PhD student) - INESC TEC and Faculty of Engineering of Universidade do Porto
- Aguiar, Paulo (PhD) - i3S/INEB
- Eloy, Catarina (MD, PhD) - i3S/IPATIMUP and Faculty of Medicine of Universidade do Porto
