biom3d 0.1.2

Biom3d. Framework for easy-to-use biomedical image segmentation.

📘Documentation |

Highlights

Biom3d automatically configures the training of a 3D U-Net for 3D semantic segmentation.

The default configuration matches the performance of nnUNet but is much easier to use both for community users and developers. Biom3d is flexible for developers: easy to understand and easy to edit.

Code architecture of Biom3d versus code architecture of nnU-Net:

Biom3d modules	nnUNet modules

Illustrations generated with pydeps module

Disclaimer: Biom3d does not include the possibility to use 2D U-Net or 3D-Cascade U-Net or Pytorch distributed parallel computing (only Pytorch Data Parallel) yet. However, these options could easily be adapted if needed.

We target two main types of users:

• Community users, who are interested in using the basic functionalities of Biom3d: GUI or CLI, predictions with ready-to-use models or default training.
• Deep-learning developers, who are interested in more advanced features: changing default configuration, writing of new Biom3d modules, Biom3d core editing etc.

Biom3d tutorials are now available online:

• I2K Workshop tutorial (in english)
• RTMFM tutorial (in french)

And a DEMO dataset can be downloaded here.

🔨 Installation

For the installation details, please check our documentation here: Installation

TL;DR: here is a single line of code to install biom3d:

pip install torch biom3d

✋ Usage

For Graphical User Interface users, please check our documentation here: GUI

For Command Line Interface users, please check our documentation here: CLI

For Deep Learning developers, the tutorials are currently being cooked stayed tuned! You can check the partial API documentation already: API

TL;DR: here is a single line of code to run biom3d on the BTCV challenge and reach the same performance as nnU-Net (no cross-validation yet):

python -m biom3d.preprocess_train\
 --img_dir data/btcv/Training/img\
 --msk_dir data/btcv/Training/label\
 --num_classes 13\
 --ct_norm

DEMO Dataset

A DEMO dataset of 3D can be downloaded here. This dataset can be helpful to interact with the Google Colab interface for the first time.
