  • 2026/01/09 - ODIN2026 Challenge Series submitted for evaluation to MICCAI 2026

We are pleased to announce that the ODIN2026 Challenges proposal has been submitted to MICCAI 2026 and is currently under review. ODIN2026 introduces a new benchmark for multimodal clinical report generation in oral and dental imaging, moving beyond segmentation and landmarking toward end-to-end 2D/3D-to-text systems that produce structured, clinically meaningful descriptions. The challenge features two complementary tracks: ToothFairy4, focused on generating maxillofacial and surgical planning reports from CBCT volumes, and Bite2Text, focused on orthodontic report generation from intraoral scans (IOS) with optional intraoral photographs. Both tracks emphasize robust generalization, leveraging multi-center training data and a fully hidden test set from an independent center, with evaluation combining automatic report-generation metrics and clinician-oriented assessment.
