Your work on the challenge could help develop tools to significantly improve diagnosis and treatment of brain cancers, which cause tens of thousands of deaths worldwide each year. The dataset for this challenge has been assembled by researchers as part of the Brain Tumor Segmentation (BraTS) challenge, a decade-long effort, and was contributed by medical centers around the world. Thank you for your effort and your passion--and good luck!</p>\n<p>Chris Carr<br>\nDirector of Informatics<br>\nThe Radiological Society of North America (RSNA)</p>",
