# Description
A pre-trained model for volumetric (3D) segmentation of the spleen from CT image.

# Model Overview
This model is trained using the runner-up [1] awarded pipeline of the "Medical Segmentation Decathlon Challenge 2018" using the UNet architecture [2] with 32 training images and 9 validation images.

## Data
The training dataset is Task09_Spleen.tar from http://medicaldecathlon.com/.

## Training configuration
The training was performed with at least 12GB-memory GPUs.

Actual Model Input: 96 x 96 x 96

## Input and output formats
Input: 1 channel CT image

Output: 2 channels: Label 1: spleen; Label 0: everything else

## Scores
This model achieves the following Dice score on the validation data (our own split from the training dataset):

Mean Dice = 0.96

## commands example
Execute training:

```
python -m monai.bundle run training --meta_file configs/metadata.json --config_file configs/train.json --logging_file configs/logging.conf
```

Override the `train` config to execute multi-GPU training:

```
torchrun --standalone --nnodes=1 --nproc_per_node=2 -m monai.bundle run training --meta_file configs/metadata.json --config_file "['configs/train.json','configs/multi_gpu_train.json']" --logging_file configs/logging.conf
```

Override the `train` config to execute evaluation with the trained model:

```
python -m monai.bundle run evaluating --meta_file configs/metadata.json --config_file "['configs/train.json','configs/evaluate.json']" --logging_file configs/logging.conf
```

Execute inference:

```
python -m monai.bundle run evaluating --meta_file configs/metadata.json --config_file configs/inference.json --logging_file configs/logging.conf
```
