The RETOUCH challenge is open for submissions!

Welcome to the Retinal OCT Fluid Challenge! RETOUCH was initially organized as a half day Challenge in conjunction with the 4th MICCAI Workshop on Ophthalmic Medical Image Analysis (OMIA), a Satellite Event of the MICCAI 2017 conference in Quebec City, Canada.

The goal of the challenge is to compare automated algorithms that are able to detect and segment various types of fluids on a common dataset of optical coherence tomography (OCT) volumes representing different retinal diseases, acquired with devices from different manufacturers. We made available a dataset of OCT volumes containing a wide variety of retinal fluid lesions with accompanying reference annotations. We invite the medical imaging community to participate by developing and testing existing and novel automated retinal OCT segmentation methods.
