Abstract

Examination of pathological images is the golden standard for diagnosing and screening many kinds of cancers. Multiple datasets, benchmarks, and challenges have been released in recent years, resulting in significant improvements in computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) of related diseases. However, few existing works focus on the digestive system. We released two well-annotated benchmark datasets and organized challenges for the digestive-system pathological cell detection and tissue segmentation, in conjunction with the International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer-Assisted Intervention (MICCAI). This paper first introduces the two released datasets, i.e., signet ring cell detection and colonoscopy tissue segmentation, with the descriptions of data collection, annotation, and potential uses. We also report the set-up, evaluation metrics, and top-performing methods and results of two challenge tasks for cell detection and tissue segmentation. In particular, the challenge received 234 effective submissions from 32 participating teams, where top-performing teams developed advancing approaches and tools for the CAD of digestive pathology. To the best of our knowledge, these are the first released publicly available datasets with corresponding challenges for the digestive-system pathological detection and segmentation. The related datasets and results provide new opportunities for the research and application of digestive pathology.
