fuse-med-ml 0.1.12

Open-source PyTorch based framework designed to facilitate deep learning R&D in medical imaging

What is FuseMedML?

FuseMedML is an open-source python-based framework designed to enhance collaboration and accelerate discoveries in Fused Medical data through advanced Machine Learning technologies. Initial version is PyTorch-based and focuses on deep learning on medical imaging.

Why use FuseMedML?

Successful deep learning R&D must rely on knowledge and experiments, accumulated over a wide variety of projects, and developed by different people and teams.

FuseMedML is an outstanding collaboration framework that allows you to rerun an experiment or reuse some of the capabilities originally written for different projects—all with minimal effort.
Using FuseMedML, you can write generic components that can be easily shared between projects in a plug & play manner, simplifying sharing and collaboration.

The framework’s unique software design provides many advantages, making it an ideal framework for deep-learning research and development in medical imaging:

• Rapid development -

• Flexible, customizable, and scalable -

• Encourage sharing and collaboration -

• Collection of off-the-shelf components and capabilities -

• Standardized evaluation -

• Medical imaging expertise -

• Compatibility with alternative frameworks

Installation

The best way to install FuseMedML is to clone the repository and install it in an editable mode using pip:

$ pip install -e .

This mode, allows to edit the source code and easily contribute back to the open-source project.

An alternative, is to simply install using PyPI

$ pip install fuse-med-ml

FuseMedML supports Python 3.6 or later and PyTorch 1.5 or later. A full list of dependencies can be found in requirements.txt.
