Challenge: SenNet + HOA - Hacking the Human Vasculature in 3D - Technology Org | By The Digital Insider

on

Your body’s organs and tissues depend on the interaction, spatial organization, and specialization of your cells—all 37 trillion. Researchers make sense of cellular functions and relationships with the Vasculature Common Coordinate Framework (VCCF). The VCCF maps cells using the blood vasculature in the human body as the primary navigation system. The framework crosses all scale levels and uniquely identifies cellular locations using capillary structures as an address. However, the gaps in what researchers know about the vasculature lead to gaps in the VCCF. If data science could help automatically segment vasculature arrangements, researchers could use real-world tissue data to fill in those gaps and complete their picture of the vasculature throughout the body.


SenNet is joined by the Human Organ Atlas (HOA) for this competition. HOA is a digital atlas containing 3D multi-resolution imaging datasets, created at the world’s brightest synchrotron (European Synchrotron Radiation Facility), using an imaging technique called Hierarchical Phase-Contrast Tomography (HiP-CT). HiP-CT spans a previously poorly explored scale in researchers’ understanding of human anatomy, from microns to entire intact organs.


Your efforts could ​​​​improve our understanding of the effect of vasculature on different cells in the human body. With better data, researchers could simulate the flow of blood, oxygen, or even drugs through the vessel network. They could also use the available organ images to augment their understanding of how blood vasculature changes as sex, age, and BMI change. Ultimately, you could help pave the way towards a more complete Vascular Common Coordinate Framework (VCCF) and Human Reference Atlas (HRA), which could identify how cell relationships affect our health.


Submissions to this Challenge must be received by 11:59 PM UTC, February 6, 2024.
