Installation

1、System requirements

This software was originally designed and run on a system running Ubuntu 18.01, with Python 3.6, PyTorch 1.8.1, and CUDA 10.1. For a full list of software packages and version numbers, see the Conda environment file environment.yml.

This software leverages graphical processing units (GPUs) to accelerate neural network training and evaluation; systems lacking a suitable GPU will likely take an extremely long time to train or evaluate models. The software was tested with the NVIDIA RTX 2080 TI GPU, though we anticipate that other GPUs will also work, provided that the unit offers sufficient memory.

2、Installation guide

We recommend installation of the required packages using the Conda package manager, available through the Anaconda Python distribution. Anaconda is available free of charge for non-commercial use through Anaconda Inc. After installing Anaconda and cloning this repository, For use as integrative framework：

git clone https://github.com/282857341/nnFormer.git
cd nnFormer
conda env create -f environment.yml
source activate nnFormer
pip install -e .

1、Datasets

Datasets can be downloaded at the following links:

And the division of the dataset can be seen in the files in the ./dataset_json/

Dataset I ACDC

Dataset II The Synapse multi-organ CT dataset

2、Setting up the datasets

While we provide code to load data for training a deep-learning model, you will first need to download images from the above repositories. Regarding the format setting and related preprocessing of the dataset, we operate based on nnFormer, so I won’t go into details here. You can see nnUNet for specific operations.

Regarding the downloaded data, I will not introduce too much here, you can go to the corresponding website to view it. Organize the downloaded DataProcessed as follows:

./Pretrained_weight/
./nnFormer/
./DATASET/
  ├── nnFormer_raw/
      ├── nnFormer_raw_data/
          ├── Task01_ACDC/
              ├── imagesTr/
              ├── imagesTs/
              ├── labelsTr/
              ├── labelsTs/
              ├── dataset.json
          ├── Task02_Synapse/
              ├── imagesTr/
              ├── imagesTs/
              ├── labelsTr/
              ├── labelsTs/
              ├── dataset.json
      ├── nnFormer_cropped_data/
  ├── nnFormer_trained_models/
  ├── nnFormer_preprocessed/

After that, you can preprocess the data using:

nnFormer_convert_decathlon_task -i ../DATASET/nnFormer_raw/nnFormer_raw_data/Task01_ACDC
nnFormer_convert_decathlon_task -i ../DATASET/nnFormer_raw/nnFormer_raw_data/Task02_Synapse
nnFormer_plan_and_preprocess -t 1
nnFormer_plan_and_preprocess -t 2

3 Generating plan files of our network

python ./nnformer/change_plan_swin.py 1
python ./nnformer/change_plan_swin.py 2

4 Training and Testing the models

A. Use the best model we have trained to infer the test set

(1).Put the downloaded the best training weights in the specified directory.

the download link is

Link：https://pan.baidu.com/s/1h1h8_DKvve8enyTiIyzfHw 
Extraction code：yimv

the specified directory is

../DATASET/nnFormer_trained_models/nnFormer/3d_fullres/Task001_ACDC/nnFormerTrainerV2_ACDC__nnFormerPlansv2.1/fold_0/model_best.model
../DATASET/nnFormer_trained_models/nnFormer/3d_fullres/Task001_ACDC/nnFormerTrainerV2_ACDC__nnFormerPlansv2.1/fold_0/model_best.model.pkl

../DATASET/nnFormer_trained_models/nnFormer/3d_fullres/Task002_Synapse/nnFormerTrainerV2_Synapse__nnFormerPlansv2.1/fold_0/model_best.model
