The first edition of the ToothFairy challenge, organized by the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia with the collaboration of Radboud University Medical Center, has been presented during the 26th International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer-Assisted Intervention (MICCAI 2023) held last week in Vancouver.
This competition brought together researchers from across the globe to tackle the Inferior Alveolar Canal (IAC) segmentation in CBCT volumes. The IAC is a vital anatomical structure that plays a significant role in oral and maxillofacial surgery. Precise segmentation of this structure is crucial for a wide range of clinical applications, from dental implant planning to nerve damage prevention during surgeries.
The complete leaderboard is available on the Grand-Challenge platform.
We are already working on the second edition of the challenge, ToothFairy2, which will involve additional anatomical structures making the competition even more challenging and with a broader impact on clinical practice.
