Second place in international digital pathology competition for MaD Lab

We congratulate Arijana Bohr and Emmanuelle Salin from the “Center for AI in Medicine” on second place in the international digital pathology competition “DigiLut.” Our HPC support team and GPU systems at NHR@FAU were instrumental for this significant achievement.

The two-month DigiLut challenge, which attracted 256 participants worldwide and received 1,202 submissions, was created by Professor Antoine Roux of the Foch Hospital. The aim is to identify rejection of donor tissue after lung transplantation by developing algorithms to identify pathological areas in digitized transbronchial biopsy samples. The participants of the challenge were given access to a unique image bank of digitized donor tissue biopsy patients undergoing lung transplantations at the Foch hospital.
