Deep Quality Estimation

Quality prediction for brain tumor segmentation on a scale ranging from ⭐ 1 star to ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 6 stars inspired by the paper Deep Quality Estimation: Creating Surrogate Models for Human Quality Ratings.
This can be used to estimate the quality of a BraTS glioma segmentation for evaluation purposes or, e.g., as part of a loss function during model training.

[!NOTE]
This package expects images in atlas space and segmentation labels in brats style, i.e.

• label 1 is the necrotic and non-enhancing tumor core
• label 2 is the peritumoral edema
• label 3 is the GD-enhancing tumor (used to be label 4 in older data; both are supported)

[!NOTE] The model in this package differs from the one presented in the paper. Instead, it is trained based on individual radiologists' ratings. This way, the model can learn the variance between radiologists' estimates. It outperforms the model presented in the paper on the test set.

[!NOTE] The model is biased to overestimate segmentation quality as it was mainly trained on high-quality segmentations and was exposed to only a few bad samples.

Installation

With a Python 3.9+ environment, you can install deep_quality_estimation directly from PyPI:

pip install deep_quality_estimation

Use Cases and Tutorials

A minimal example to predict the quality of a segmentation could look like this:

from deep_quality_estimation import DQE

# shown parameters are default values but can be adapted to usecase
dqe = DQE(device="cuda", cuda_devices="0") 

# inputs can be Paths (str or pathlib.Path object), NumPy NDArrays or a mix
mean_score, scores_per_view = dqe.predict(
    t1c="t1c.nii.gz",
    t1="t1.nii.gz",
    t2="t2.nii.gz",
    flair="flair.nii.gz",
    segmentation="segmentation.nii.gz",
)
