We are organizing a MICCAI 2012 challenge in neonatal brain segmentation with MRI – NeoBrainS12.

The aim of the NeoBrainS12 challenge is to compare (semi-)automatic algorithms for segmentation of neonatal brain tissues and measurement of corresponding volumes using T1- and T2-weighted MRI scans of the brain. The comparison is performed in (any of) the following tissue types: cortical and central grey matter, non-myelinated and myelinated white matter, brainstem and cerebellum, and cerebrospinal fluid in the ventricles and in the extracerebral space.
