Acute and chronic wounds with varying etiologies burden the healthcare systems economically. The advanced wound care market is estimated to reach 22 billion by 2024. Wound care professionals provide proper diagnosis and treatment with heavy reliance on images and image documentation. Segmentation of wound boundaries in images is a key component of the care and diagnosis protocol since it is important to estimate the area of the wound and provide quantitative measurement for the treatment. Unfortunately, this process is very time-consuming and requires a high level of expertise. Recently automatic wound segmentation methods based on deep learning have shown promising performance but require large datasets for training and it is unclear which methods perform better. To address these issues, we propose the Foot Ulcer Segmentation challenge (FUSeg) organized in conjunction with the 2021 International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer Assisted Intervention (MICCAI). We built a wound image dataset containing 1,210 foot ulcer images collected over 2 years from 889 patients. It is pixel-wise annotated by wound care experts and split into a training set with 1010 images and a testing set with 200 images for evaluation. Teams around the world developed automated methods to predict wound segmentations on the testing set of which annotations were kept private. The predictions were evaluated and ranked based on the average Dice coefficient. The FUSeg challenge remains an open challenge as a benchmark for wound segmentation after the conference.
