- Abstract
This paper presents an overview of the third edition of the HEad and neCK TumOR segmentation and outcome prediction (HECKTOR) challenge, organized as a satellite event of the 25th International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer Assisted Intervention (MICCAI) 2022. The challenge comprises two tasks related to the automatic analysis of FDG-PET/CT images for patients with Head and Neck cancer (H&N), focusing on the oropharynx region. Task 1 is the fully automatic segmentation of H&N primary Gross Tumor Volume (GTVp) and metastatic lymph nodes (GTVn) from FDG-PET/CT images. Task 2 is the fully automatic prediction of Recurrence-Free Survival (RFS) from the same FDG-PET/CT and clinical data. The data were collected from nine centers for a total of 883 cases consisting of FDG-PET/CT images and clinical information, split into 524 training and 359 test cases. The best methods obtained an aggregated Dice Similarity Coefficient (DSC$_{agg}$) of 0.788 in Task 1, and a Concordance index (C-index) of 0.682 in Task 2.
