MONAI Label

License CI Build Documentation Status PyPI version Azure DevOps tests (compact) Azure DevOps coverage codecov

MONAI Label is a server-client system that facilitates interactive medical image annotation by using AI. It is an open-source and easy-to-install ecosystem that can run locally on a machine with single or multiple GPUs. Both server and client work on the same/different machine. It shares the same principles with MONAI.

Features

The codebase is currently under active development.

  • Framework for developing and deploying MONAI Label Apps to train and infer AI models
  • Compositional & portable APIs for ease of integration in existing workflows
  • Customizable labelling app design for varying user expertise
  • Annotation support via 3DSlicer & OHIF for radiology
  • Annotation support via QuPath , Digital Slide Archive & CVAT for pathology
  • PACS connectivity via DICOMWeb

Installation

MONAI Label supports following OS with GPU/CUDA enabled.

Current/Stable Version

pip install monailabel -U

Development version

To install the latest features using one of the following options:

Git Checkout (developer mode)

git clone https://github.com/Project-MONAI/MONAILabel
pip install -r MONAILabel/requirements.txt
export PATH=$PATH:`pwd`/MONAILabel/monailabel/scripts

Weekly Release

pip install monailabel-weekly -U

Docker

docker run --gpus all --rm -ti --ipc=host --net=host projectmonai/monailabel:latest bash

Once the package is installed, you can download sample radiology or pathology app and start monailabel server.

# download radiology app and sample dataset
monailabel apps --download --name radiology --output apps
monailabel datasets --download --name Task09_Spleen --output datasets

# start server using radiology app with deepedit model enabled
monailabel start_server --app apps/radiology --studies datasets/Task09_Spleen/imagesTr --conf models deepedit

More details refer docs: https://docs.monai.io/projects/label/en/stable/installation.html

If monailabel install path is not automatically determined, then you can provide explicit install path as: monailabel apps --prefix ~/.local

For prerequisites, other installation methods (using the default GitHub branch, using Docker, etc.), please refer to the installation guide.

Once you start the MONAI Label Server, by default server will be up and serving at http://127.0.0.1:8000/. Open the serving URL in browser. It will provide you the list of Rest APIs available. For this, please make sure you use the HTTP protocol. You can provide ssl arguments to run server in HTTPS mode but this functionality is not fully verified across all clients.

Optional Dependencies

Following are the optional dependencies which can help you to accelerate some GPU based transforms from MONAI. These dependencies are by-default available if you are using projectmonai/monailabel docker.

Plugins

3D Slicer (radiology)

Download and install 3D Slicer with the installation page. Install MONAI Label plugin from Slicer Extension Manager.

Refer 3D Slicer plugin for other options to install and run MONAI Label plugin in 3D Slicer.

To avoid accidentally using an older Slicer version, you may want to uninstall any previously installed 3D Slicer package.

OHIF (radiology)

MONAI Label comes with pre-built plugin for OHIF Viewer. To use OHIF Viewer, you need to provide DICOMWeb instead of FileSystem as studies when you start the server.

Please install Orthanc before using OHIF Viewer. For Ubuntu 20.x, Orthanc can be installed as apt-get install orthanc orthanc-dicomweb. However, you have to upgrade to latest version by following steps mentioned here.

You can use PlastiMatch to convert NIFTI to DICOM

  # start server using DICOMWeb
  monailabel start_server --app apps/radiology --studies http://127.0.0.1:8042/dicom-web

OHIF Viewer will be accessible at http://127.0.0.1:8000/ohif/

OHIF

NOTE: OHIF does not yet support Multi-Label interaction for DeepEdit. And you can still use 3D Slicer when MONAILabel is connected to DICOMWeb.

QuPath (pathology)

You can download sample whole slide images from https://portal.gdc.cancer.gov/repository

  # start server using pathology over downloaded whole slide images
  monailabel start_server --app apps/pathology --studies wsi_images

Refer QuPath for installing and running MONAILabel plugin in QuPath.

Digital Slide Archive (DSA) (pathology)

Refer Pathology for running a sample pathology use-case in MONAILabel.

NOTE: The DSA Plugin is under active development.

image

CVAT

Install CVAT and enable Semi-Automatic and Automatic Annotation . Refer CVAT Instructions for deploying available MONAILabel pathology models into CVAT.
