MICCAI registered challenges


Similar to how clinical trials have to be registered before starting, the complete design of accepted MICCAI (and ISBI) challenges will be put online before the challenges take place. Changes to the design (e.g. to the metrics or ranking schemes applied) must be well-justified and officially be registered online (as a new version of the challenge design). Registering challenges is a big step towards higher quality challenges. It not only has the potential to lead to more thoughtful challenge designs but also provides all the information necessary for challenge participants. Furthermore, all changes will be transparent to the community, ensuring increased quality control. Below, the registered challenges are listed.

MICCAI 2025 lighthouse challenges

MICCAI lighthouse challenges aim to spotlight high-impact challenges that excel in design, data quality, and clinical engagement. The goal of lighthouse challenges is to incentivize challenges that offer innovative approaches, higher quality data, and strong clinical collaboration, ensuring better accountability and visibility. With over 35 challenges organized annually, the initiative addresses the risk of diluted participation by recognizing and funding select challenges that demonstrate best practices and substantial potential. The selected lighthouse challenges underwent a rigorous review, including an enhanced proposal review by two technical and one clinical reviewer, and a data quality check. Subsequently, a full dataset review involves detailed analysis and independent re-annotation of a subset. Three lighthouse challenges have been accepted for MICCAI 2025.

MICCAI endorsed events

The number of submitted challenge proposals is steadily increasing. Due to limited room capacities, not every interesting challenge can be accepted for an ongoing MICCAI event. Therefore, we decided to accept challenges as MICCAI endorsed online-only events, which are not bounded to a specific conference, but organized under the MICCAI umbrella.
