motionscorehrpqct 2.5.5

MotionScoreHRpQCT core CLI for dataset-first HR-pQCT motion grading

MotionScoreHRpQCT

Motion scoring for HR-pQCT scans using deep convolutional neural networks.

This refactor provides a dataset-first pipeline with BIDS-style derivatives and review-state persistence for direct Slicer integration.

What Changed In v2

• Legacy CLI commands grade and confirm are removed.
• New dataset-driven commands: discover, predict, review-init, review-apply, explain, export.
• Default output structure is now:

<dataset_root>/derivatives/MotionScore/
  index.tsv
  dataset_description.json
  <mirrored-source-path-or-flat-aim-name>/
    predictions/predictions.tsv
    preview/<scan_id>_preview.png
    preview/<scan_id>_slice_profile.png
    review/review.tsv
    review/review.json
    review/review_audit.tsv
    explain/<scan_id>_gradcam.mha

• AIM reading now uses aimio-py.
• Python baseline is now >=3.10.
• Output path mapping:
  • Flat input (*.AIM directly in dataset root): outputs are grouped under folder named after each AIM file stem.
  • Structured input (nested folders): outputs mirror the source folder structure under MotionScore.
• Raw-vs-mask identification:
  • Primary: AIM header processing log (ISQ-origin markers indicate raw images).
  • Fallback: filename-based heuristics when header signal is unavailable.

Installation

conda create -n motionscore python=3.10 -y
conda activate motionscore

# Clone
# git clone <repo-url>
# cd MotionScoreHRpQCT

# Install CLI + torch inference backend
pip install -e ".[torch]"

Models

Use a model registry rooted at --model-root (default ~/.motionscore/MotionScore/models).

Each registered profile points to a directory containing torch checkpoints:

• DNN_0.pt, DNN_1.pt, ... (ensemble members)
• model_registry.json at the model root

Model weights are distributed as public GitHub release assets. The download command reads the public model catalog, downloads the selected bundle, verifies the checksum when present, and registers the extracted checkpoints locally.

motionscore model-download --model-id base-v1
motionscore model-list

By default model bundles are resolved from the public model catalog attached to the latest GitHub release, and GitHub release asset download counts are the central usage metric.

CLI Usage

For most users, day-to-day grading and review should be done in the Slicer app. In this core CLI, the two most useful workflows are batch prediction and retraining.

1) Predict a folder of scans

motionscore predict /path/to/dataset --model-id base-v1

Default output root:

• /path/to/dataset/derivatives/MotionScore

Review confidence policy is configured separately with motionscore review-init --confidence-threshold ....

2) Retrain from reviewed data

motionscore train-prepare /path/to/dataset/derivatives/MotionScore \
  --output /path/to/dataset/derivatives/MotionScore/training/train_manifest.tsv \
  --slice-count 8 \
  --seed 13 \
  --cv-folds 10 \
  --min-auto-confidence 0.70 \
  --include-auto-without-manual

motionscore train \
  --manifest /path/to/dataset/derivatives/MotionScore/training/train_manifest.tsv \
  --model-root ~/.motionscore/MotionScore/models \
  --init-model-id base-v1 \
  --early-stopping-patience 10 \
  --seed 13 \
  --output-model-dir ~/.motionscore/MotionScore/models/knee-v1

Training writes:

• training_metrics.json
• training_plot_live.png (updated every epoch)
• training_plot.png (final summary plot)
• training_plot_model_<n>.png (per-ensemble-model curves)

CLI Reference

Use With 3D Slicer

For day-to-day grading and retraining, use the Slicer app:

• https://github.com/wallematthias/SlicerMotionScoreHRpQCT

This repository provides the core CLI/pipeline used by that extension.
