torchio is a Python package containing a set of tools to efficiently
read, sample and write 3D medical images in deep learning applications
written in PyTorch,
including intensity and spatial transforms
for data augmentation and preprocessing. Transforms include typical computer vision operations
such as random affine transformations and also domain specific ones such as
simulation of intensity artifacts due to
MRI magnetic field inhomogeneity
or k-space motion artifacts.
This package has been greatly inspired by NiftyNet.
$ pip install torchioImagesDataset is a reader of medical images that directly inherits from
torch.utils.Dataset.
It can be used with a
torch.utils.DataLoader
for efficient reading and data augmentation.
The paths suffix must be .nii, .nii.gz or .nrrd.

't1': dict(path='~/Dropbox/MRI/t1.nii.gz', type=torchio.INTENSITY),

}
subject_b = {
't1': dict(path='/tmp/colin27_t1_tal_lin.nii.gz', type=torchio.INTENSITY),
'label': dict(path='/tmp/colin27_seg1.nii.gz', type=torchio.LABEL),
}
paths_list = [subject_a, subject_b]
subjects_dataset = torchio.ImagesDataset(paths_list)
subject_sample = subjects_dataset[0]torchio includes grid, uniform and label patch samplers. There is also an
aggregator used for dense predictions. The code for these is almost
copy-pasted from NiftyNet.
For more information about patch-based training, see NiftyNet docs.

during training.

torchvision.transforms.
They take as input the samples generated by an
ImagesDataset.
Magnetic resonance images suffer from motion artifacts when the subject moves during image acquisition. This transform follows Shaw et al., 2019 to simulate motion artifacts for data augmentation.
MRI magnetic field inhomogeneity creates slow frequency intensity variations. This transform is very similar to the one in NiftyNet.
Adds noise sampled from a normal distribution with mean 0 and standard
deviation sampled from a uniform distribution in the range std_range.
It is often used after ZNormalization, as the output of
this transform has zero-mean.
Implementation of New variants of a method of MRI scale standardization adapted from NiftyNet.
Reverse the order of elements in an image along the given axes.
This example shows the improvement in performance when multiple workers are used to load and preprocess the volumes using multiple workers.
