We first show that models trained on BraTS-2021 dataset do not generalize well to BraTS-Africa as shown by 20% reduction in mean dice on BraTS-Africa validation samples.

This study was conducted on the Brain Tumor Segmentation (BraTS) Challenge Africa (BraTS-Africa) dataset, which provides a valuable resource for addressing challenges specific to resource-limited settings, particularly the African population, and facilitating the development of effective and more generalizable segmentation algorithms.

Thus, the BraTS-Africa Challenge provides a unique opportunity to include brain MRI glioma cases from SSA in global efforts through the BraTS Challenge to develop and evaluate computer-aided-diagnostic (CAD) methods for the detection and characterization of glioma in resource-limited settings, where the potential for CAD tools to transform healthcare are more likely.
