We have set up two websites to continue the spirit of the Grand Challenge workshop: cause07.org for caudate segmentation and sliver07.org for liver segmentation. On these websites, all results presented in the workshop proceedings can be browsed and viewed online. The main purpose, however, is to submit results from new and improved algorithms and let them be evaluated fully automatically. Teams that have not participated in the workshop can register and download the used training- and testdata. We hope to establish these websites as open and respected benchmarks for new segmentation algorithms.
