Goal

The goal of this repository is to provide a seamless and efficient integration of your algorithm into the Grand Challenge platform. This repository offers a template for packaging your algorithm in a Docker container, ensuring compatibility with the input and output formats of the SynthRAD2023 challenge.

With this template, you can submit your algorithm (with minimal effort) to the test phases of the challenge (and optionally the validation phases). You can use the preliminary test phase to make sure everything is in order with your submission and get an initial estimate of your algorithms performance.

Getting Started

Dependencies

For building the algorithm for submission, the user should have access to Docker [https://docs.docker.com/] on their system. (Note: Submissions to the test phase are allowed only with docker containers). This algorithm template was tested using Ubuntu 20.04.6 and Docker 23.0.4.

Please make sure to list the requirements for your algorithm in the requirements.txt file as this will be picked up when building the docker container.

Download

Clone the repo

git clone https://github.com/SynthRAD2023/algorithm-template.git

git clone [email protected]:SynthRAD2023/algorithm-template.git

Setup

Dummy data (randomly created scans) for testing the docker has already been provided in the test folder. It should be in the following format,

algorithm-template
└── test
    ├── images
    │   ├── body
    │   │   └── 1BAxxx.nii.gz
    │   └── mri
    │       └── 1BAxxx.nii.gz
    └── expected_output.json

test/images simulates the input data provided to the docker image while it is run on the test data by the Grand Challenge platform. test/expected_output.json is present to check if your algorithm provides the expected output on the inputs provided to it.

Usage

First, run test.sh

test.sh will build the docker container (which contains the algorithm), provide the test folder as input to the docker container and run the algorithm. The output of the algorithm will be placed in the output directory. Tests will also be run to check if the algorithm provides the expected output.

Note: It is recommended to run this before you integrate your own algorithm into the template.

The output of the test.sh script should look similar to this:

########## ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES ##########
TASK_TYPE: mri
INPUT_FOLDER: /input
#Text outputs of your scripts will appear here
[
    {
        "error_messages": [],
        "inputs": [
            {
                "filename": "/input/images/mri/1BAxxx.nii.gz",
                "type": "metaio_image"
            },
            {
                "filename": "/input/images/body/1BAxxx.nii.gz",
                "type": "metaio_image"
            }
        ],
        "outputs": [
            {
                "filename": "/output/images/synthetic-ct/1BAxxx.nii.gz",
                "type": "metaio_image"
            }
        ]
    }
]
Tests successfully passed...

Using the template

To integrate your algorithm into this template, you need to modify the predict function of the SynthradAlgorithm in the process.py file.

class SynthradAlgorithm(BaseSynthradAlgorithm):
    ...

    def predict(self, input_dict: Dict[str, sitk.Image]) -> sitk.Image:
        """
        Your algorithm implementation.
        """
        # Your code here
        return output_image

You might need to load your models first before running the algorithm and this can be done in the __init__ function of the SynthradAlgorithm class. For instance, to load a pytorch model,

class SynthradAlgorithm(BaseSynthradAlgorithm):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)

        # Load the PyTorch model
        model_path = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), 'your_model.pt')
        self.model = torch.load(model_path)
        self.model.eval()

Making submissions to Task 1 and 2.

Since the challenge contains two tasks, you will need to provide separate docker containers for each (even if you run the exact same algorithm on both). To configure which task your docker will be built for, we have provided a .env file. You can modify it before building the docker image and your docker will be built for the selected task.

TASK_TYPE="cbct" # Set to mri (Task 1) or cbct (Task 2)
INPUT_FOLDER="/input" # Do not change unless you want to test locally

Change the TASK_TYPE to "cbct" or "mri" depending on the task you want to make the submission for. Do not change the INPUT_FOLDER unless you are testing locally.

Building and exporting the docker container with your new algorithm!

It is recommended to run test.sh first as it will ensure that your new algorithm always runs as expected.

Run the export.sh command. You can provide a name as the next argument to allow naming your docker containers. Example: ./export.sh cbct_docker
You might need to wait a bit for this process to complete (depending on your model size and dependencies added by you) as it builds and saves the docker as .tar.gz. Once you have this .tar.gz file, you can submit it on the grand challenge portal in the SynthRAD submissions!

Adding your own model files to the docker container

This step requires a bit of familiarity with the docker ecosystem as you will need to edit the Dockerfile to do so. The models will be embedded into the docker container allowing the docker to run independently on any system!

As a start, you can copy model files into the docker by adding something like this into the Dockerfile,

COPY --chown=algorithm:algorithm your_model.pt /opt/algorithm/

Once you do this, your_model.pt should be accessible in the ___init___ function as described above.

To run your docker locally with GPU Support

Ensure that you have the nvidia-container-toolkit installed along with your docker installation.

You can follow the instructions here: https://docs.nvidia.com/datacenter/cloud-native/container-toolkit/install-guide.html

Once you have this installed, you can run ./test_gpu.sh instead of test.sh

Testing your algorithm locally (without docker).

In order to first test your algorithm locally (without the docker build process etc. - significantly speeds up over multiple iterations),

Configure .env for local mode by setting the INPUT_FOLDER to the path where you want to provide the inputs from. For instance, the test folder is a good starting place. But you could also provide your own data. (!!! NOTE: SET THE INPUT_FOLDER back to /input before your build the docker)
Run python process.py in an environment with all your dependencies installed.

This should run your algorithm locally and allow you to test different iterations before making a docker container.

Reformatting your own data

In the setup folder, the create_dummy_data.py gives an example of how the dummy data is created for the docker container. You can reformat your own data in accordance to be run by the docker container.

For the MRI task, this is how the data should be organized.

data
  ├── images
  │   ├── body
  │   │   └── 1BAxxx.nii.gz
  │   │   └── ... 
  │   ├── mri
  │   │   └── 1BAxxx.nii.gz
  │   │   └── ...

Similarly for the CBCT task,

data
  ├── images
  │   ├── body
  │   │   └── 1BAxxx.nii.gz
  │   │   └── ... 
  │   ├── cbct
  │   │   └── 1BAxxx.nii.gz
  │   │   └── ...
