HECKTOR Challenge LNCS Volume¶

In order to be eligible for the official ranking, any submission to the testing phase must be accompanied by a corresponding paper.

• The organizers will coordinate the review of submitted papers (independently from MICCAI reviews) and publish them in a Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) volume in the Challenges subline.
• Submission platform: OpenReview found here
• Deadline: 12 September 2025
• Eligibility: Every team that submitted to the testing phase is eligible and must submit a paper. When participating in multiple tasks, you can either submit a single paper reporting all methods and results or several papers.
• Paper length: 6–12 pages (LNCS format, including references).
• Submission format: PDF only, prepared using Springer’s proceedings templates (LaTeX or Word). Templates are available on Springer’s author guidelines and also in Overleaf.
• ORCID: Springer encourages all authors to include their ORCIDs.
• Ranking: Teams that do not submit a paper will not appear in the final ranking.

Additional Author Guidelines¶

• To link your paper with your Grand Challenge team, add your team name at the end of the abstract.
• Keep sections on task motivation and data description short, and cite the HECKTOR 2025 overview paper.
• Each paper must clearly describe:
  • Method(s) used
  • Training/validation setup
  • Results on validation and/or testing sets
  • Discussion and interpretation
