Getting Started

To get started, follow these steps:

1. Clone the Repository

   git clone https://github.com/xmed-lab/TriALS

2. Create and Activate a Virtual Environment

   conda create -n TriALS python=3.10
   conda activate TriALS

3. Install Pytorch: Follow the instructions here:

    pip3 install torch torchvision torchaudio --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu118

4. Install the Repository

    cd TriALS
    pip install -e .

Data Preparation

We follow the nnU-Net V2 guideline for data preparation, detailed below and accessible here.

1. Download and Prepare the MSD Liver Dataset, and extract it into the data/nnUNet_raw_data_base directory.

   gdown https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1jyVGUGyxKBXV6_9ivuZapQS8eUJXCIpu
   # or use wget
   wget https://msd-for-monai.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Task03_Liver.tar

   tar -xvf Task03_Liver.tar -C data/nnUNet_raw_data_base

2. Export nnUNet-v2 evironment variables:

   export nnUNet_raw=<path-to>/data/nnUNet_raw_data_base/
   export nnUNet_preprocessed=<path-to>/data/nnUNet_preprocessed/
   export nnUNet_results=<path-to>/data/nnUNet_results/

3. Convert the MSD Liver dataset to nnU-Net format:

    python nnunetv2/dataset_conversion/convert_MSD_dataset.py -i data/nnUNet_raw_data_base/Task03_Liver/

Sanity Check: Please verify that the dataset is organized in the following structure:

data/
├── nnUNet_raw_data_base/
│   ├── Dataset003_Liver/
│   │   ├── imagesTr
│   │   │   ├── liver_1_0000.nii.gz
│   │   │   ├── liver_2_0000.nii.gz
│   │   │   ├── ...
│   │   ├── labelsTr
│   │   │   ├── liver_1.nii.gz
│   │   │   ├── liver_2.nii.gz
│   │   │   ├── ...
│   │   ├── dataset.json

3. Preprocess the LiTS Dataset: Replace <DATASET_ID> in the command below with 3:

   nnUNetv2_plan_and_preprocess -d <DATASET_ID> --verify_dataset_integrity

Model Training

To train the models, follow these instructions:

• General Training Command on GPU 0. For the preliminary benchmark, all models are trained for 100 epochs. Please note that all model variants, with the exception of nnUNet, are trained without deep supervision.

  CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 nnUNetv2_train <DATASET_ID> <CONFIGURATION> <FOLD_NUM> -tr <TRAINER>

Inference

• Validation Inference

To generate model validation outputs, execute the command below. To acquire probabilities for the optimal configuration, append the --npz flag, noting this requires significant disk space.

CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 nnUNetv2_train DATASET_ID CONFIGURATION FOLD_NUM -tr TRAINER --val --npz

• Inference on unseen

nnUNetv2_predict -i INPUT_FOLDER -o OUTPUT_FOLDER -d DATASET_ID -c CONFIGURATION -tr TRAINER_NAME

• Best Configuration and Ensembles (in progress)
