Randomized trial evaluates AI models for brain tumor segmentation in Sub-Saharan Africa, indicating potential healthcare improvements.

This research aims to assess the effectiveness of AI methods for brain tumor segmentation specific to Sub-Saharan African populations.
Curated and annotated T1-weighted, T2-weighted, and T2-FLAIR MRI scans from 115 glioma patients.
Participants developed and validated AI segmentation methods for brain tumors.
Performance was evaluated using the Dice Score Coefficient and Hausdorff Distance metrics.
In 2023, 9 teams participated from 12 countries with evaluated submissions.
The 2024 challenge featured 6 teams from 7 countries, showing a 9.4% increase in DSC and a decrease of 57.21% in HD95 from the previous year.

Adewole et al. (2026) studied this question.
