Awesome medical image segmentation methods based on various challenges! (Updated 2023-12)

Overview of medical image segmentation challenges in MICCAI 2023.

For each competition, we present the segmentation target, image modality, dataset size, and the base network architecture in the winning solution. The competitions cover different modalities and segmentation targets with various challenging characteristics. U-Net and its variants still dominate the winning solutions.
