VISCERAL (Visual Concept Extraction Challenge in Radiology) aims to organize series of
benchmarks on the processing of large-scale 3D radiology images, by using an innovative
cloud-based evaluation approach.</p>
      <p>While a growing number of benchmark studies compare the performance of algorithms for
automated organ segmentation in images with restricted eld of views, emphasis on
anatomical segmentation and landmark localization in images with wide eld-of-view (e.g.
showing entire abdomen, trunk, or the whole body) has been limited. VISCERAL Anatomy2
benchmark series, namely Organ Segmentation and Landmark Detection Benchmarks, aim
to address this need. This ISBI VISCERAL Challenge, a part of Anatomy2 series, has
been organized on May 1st 2014, within the IEEE International Symposium on Biomedical
Imaging (ISBI) in Beijing, China.</p>
      <p>The challenge participants have submitted segmentation and localization results two weeks
before the challenge session, that were evaluated against test data by the organizers with
results presented during the challenge session. Each participant presented his method in a
15 minute oral session during the challenge session. Participants also submitted short papers
summarizing their speci c methodologies that were used to generate their results.</p>
      <p>This volume contains two parts. The rst part consist of one paper authored by the
organizers of the challenge, and the second part presents a compilation of the submissions
by the challenge participants. We thank the authors for their submissions and the program
committee for their hard work.</p>
