DeepBrainSeg

This repo utilize a ensemble of 2-D and 3-D fully convoultional neural network (CNN) for segmentation of the brain tumor and its constituents from multi modal Magnetic Resonance Images (MRI). The dense connectivity pattern used in the segmentation network enables effective reuse of features with lesser number of network parameters. On the BraTS validation data, the segmentation network achieved a whole tumor, tumor core and active tumor dice of 0.89, 0.76, 0.76 respectively.

Features

• Brain Tumor Segmentation
• Brain Mask Generation SkullStripping (currently using HD-BET and ANTs)
• Radiomic Features
• Coregistration
• Dcm and nifty support (converts dcm to nifty and works)
• UI based inference framework
• Whole Brain Segmentation

Pipeline for Segmentation

Results for Segmentation

UI

We also provide UI based tool for tumor segmentation visualization. It can be used by running the following commands after cloning the repo.

cd ui
python3 DeepBrainSegUI.py

Python API usage

Brain tumor segmentation

for data in BraTs format

from DeepBrainSeg import deepSeg
segmentor = deepSeg(quick=True)
segmentor.get_segmentation_brats(path)

for other formats

from DeepBrainSeg import deepSeg
t1_path = 
t2_path = 
t1ce_path = 
flair_path = 

segmentor = deepSeg(quick=True)
segmentor.get_segmentation(t1_path, t2_path, t1ce_path, flair_path, save = True)

brain seq coregistration to t1c

from DeepBrainSeg.registration import Coregistration
coreg = Coregistration()

moving_imgs = {'t1': t1path,
               't2': t2path,
               'flair': flairpath}
fixed_img =  os.path.join(t1cpath)
coreg.register_patient(moving_images    = moving_imgs,
                            fixed_image = fixed_img,
                            save_path   = pathtosave)

brain mask extraction (skull stripping)

from DeepBrainSeg.brainmask.hdbetmask import get_bet_mask
from DeepBrainSeg.brainmask.antsmask import get_ants_mask

get_bet_mask(vol_path, savepath)

or 

get_ants_mask(vol_path, savepath)

Radiomics feature exctractor

from DeepBrainSeg.radiomics import ExtractRadiomicFeatures

extractor = ExtractRadiomicFeatures(input_mask=None, 
                                    save_path=None, 
                                    seq='Flair',
                                    class_ = 'ET')
extractor.first_order()
extractor.glcm_features()
extractor.gldm_features()

or

extractor.all_features()

Steps followed for tumor segmentation inference:

• Our algorithm makes use of ANTs framework for mask generation. First call deepSeg class build ANTs framework locally in ~/.DeepBrainSeg
• First call deepSeg downloads all pretrained models locally in ~/.DeepBrainSeg
• Final segmentation is the result of ensemble of 4 different models:
  • ABLNet (modelABL.py, Air brain Lesion Network)
  • 3DBrainNet (model3DBNET.py, 3D multiresolution CNN)
  • Tiramisu2D (modelTis2D.py, 57 layered 2D CNN)
  • Tiramisu 3D (modelTir3D.py, 57 layered 3D CNN)
• Extensive documentation will be uploaded soon, along with transfer learning framework
• More details about network architecture and training procedure can be found here
