Auto Segmentation models

Aditya P. Apte edited this page Jan 23, 2023 · 72 revisions

CERR includes a library of deep Learning-based auto-segmentation models. The models are distributed as Singularity containers or packaged conda environments to ensure reproducibility across operating systems. Models for auto-segmenting the following sites/modalities/organs are available. Submit request to get access to Singularity Container or Conda Environment for Windows, Mac or Linux OS.

Boilerplate for deploying models in CERR

To provide guidance for incorporating homegrown deep learning segmentation models as CERR pipelines, we have created boilerplate code to assist with training and container creation.

Tips on resolving errors while using Conda Environments

There might be conflicts with system dependencies while running Conda Environments. Here is advice on resolving some of the known issues:

Issue Solution
ImportError: DLL load failed: The operating system cannot run %1. remove C:\Windows\System32\libiomp5md.dll

License

The codebase for implementations of models uses the GNU-GPL copyleft license (https://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl-3.0.en.html) to allow open-source distribution with additional restrictions. The license retains the ability to propagate any changes to the codebase back to the open-source community along with the following restrictions (i) No Clinical Use, (ii) No Commercial Use, and (iii) Dual Licensing which reserve the right to diverge and/or modify and/or expand the model implementations library to have a closed source/proprietary version along with the open source version in future. We would like to highlight that the library of implementations presented in this work is not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and should not be used to make clinical decisions for treating patients. The library merely provides implementations of the developed models, whereas the creators of models retain the copyright to their work.
