Model Overview
A neural architecture search algorithm for volumetric (3D) segmentation of the pancreas and pancreatic tumor from CT image. This model is trained using the neural network model from the neural architecture search algorithm, DiNTS [1].
Data
The training dataset is the Panceas Task from the Medical Segmentation Decathalon. Users can find more details on the datasets at http://medicaldecathlon.com/.
- Target: Liver and tumour
- Modality: Portal venous phase CT
- Size: 420 3D volumes (282 Training +139 Testing)
- Source: Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center
- Challenge: Label unbalance with large (background), medium (pancreas) and small (tumour) structures.
Preprocessing
The data list/split can be created with the script scripts/prepare_datalist.py
.
python scripts/prepare_datalist.py --path /path-to-Task07_Pancreas/ --output configs/dataset_0.json
Training configuration
The training was performed with at least 16GB-memory GPUs.
Actual Model Input: 96 x 96 x 96
Neural Architecture Search Configuration
The neural architecture search was performed with the following:
- AMP: True
- Optimizer: SGD
- Initial Learning Rate: 0.025
- Loss: DiceCELoss
Optimial Architecture Training Configuration
The training was performed with the following:
- AMP: True
- Optimizer: SGD
- (Initial) Learning Rate: 0.025
- Loss: DiceCELoss
- Note: If out-of-memory or program crash occurs while caching the data set, please change the cache_rate in CacheDataset to a lower value in the range (0, 1).
The segmentation of pancreas region is formulated as the voxel-wise 3-class classification. Each voxel is predicted as either foreground (pancreas body, tumour) or background. And the model is optimized with gradient descent method minimizing soft dice loss and cross-entropy loss between the predicted mask and ground truth segmentation.
Input
One channel
- CT image
Output
Three channels
- Label 2: pancreatic tumor
- Label 1: pancreas
- Label 0: everything else
Performance
Dice score is used for evaluating the performance of the model. This model achieves a mean dice score of 0.62.
Training Loss
The loss over 3200 epochs (the bright curve is smoothed, and the dark one is the actual curve)
Validation Dice
The mean dice score over 3200 epochs (the bright curve is smoothed, and the dark one is the actual curve)
Searched Architecture Visualization
Users can install Graphviz for visualization of searched architectures (needed in decode_plot.py). The edges between nodes indicate global structure, and numbers next to edges represent different operations in the cell searching space. An example of searched architecture is shown as follows:
MONAI Bundle Commands
In addition to the Pythonic APIs, a few command line interfaces (CLI) are provided to interact with the bundle. The CLI supports flexible use cases, such as overriding configs at runtime and predefining arguments in a file.
For more details usage instructions, visit the MONAI Bundle Configuration Page.
Execute model searching:
python -m scripts.search run --config_file configs/search.yaml
Execute multi-GPU model searching (recommended):
torchrun --nnodes=1 --nproc_per_node=8 -m scripts.search run --config_file configs/search.yaml
Execute training:
python -m monai.bundle run --config_file configs/train.yaml
Override the train
config to execute multi-GPU training:
torchrun --nnodes=1 --nproc_per_node=8 -m monai.bundle run --config_file "['configs/train.yaml','configs/multi_gpu_train.yaml']"
Override the train
config to execute evaluation with the trained model:
python -m monai.bundle run --config_file "['configs/train.yaml','configs/evaluate.yaml']"
Execute inference:
python -m monai.bundle run --config_file configs/inference.yaml
Export checkpoint for TorchScript
python -m monai.bundle ckpt_export network_def --filepath models/model.ts --ckpt_file models/model.pt --meta_file configs/metadata.json --config_file configs/inference.yaml
