DeepBet - U-Net Brain extraction tool for nonhuman primates

Date: April 12th, 2021


Description

This repo includes the brain extraction tool (DeepBet v1.0) for skull-stripping the nonhuman primate images. We also include brain masks of 136 macaque monkeys (20 sites) from PRIME-DE. The tool is constructed using a convolutional network - UNet model, initially trained on a human sample and updated with macaque data.

In this repo, we also include the outputs from other tools (AFNI, FSL, FreeSurfer, ANTS) - a glance of the performance for different pipelines

Docker Image

Pull

The docker image has been uploaded onto DockerHub, download it by using the following command

docker pull sandywangrest/deepbet:1.0

Helper

For the usage of this image, run

docker run sandywangrest/deepbet

Storage Requirement

~5GB hard disk space for whole docker image, including pytorch (~4GB), nibabel, scipy (~188MB), 12 U-Net models (356MB) and our code (44KB)

U-Net model


Local installation

python3, numpy, pytorch, nibabel, scipy

Run brain mask prediction

python3 /path_to_the_code/muSkullStrip.py -in /path_to_the_data/input_t1.nii.gz -model /path_to_the_model/selected_model.model -out /path_to_the_output_directory

Output: *_pre_mask.nii.gz

Custimize the model for your own dataset

python3 /path_to_the_code/trainSs_UNet.py -trt1w /directory_of_the_training_images -trmsk /directory_of_the_training_image_masks -out /output_directory -vt1w /directory_of_the_validation_images -vmsk /directory_of_the_validation_image_masks -init /initial_model_to_start_with

Note: Our macaque model was a transfer-learning model using a human dataset as the 'initial model' (-init option). You can use the model we provided to custimize the model for your own dataset (even across species).

The trained models can be used in prediction (muSkullStrip.py -model) or model-updating (trainSs_Unet.py -init)

  1. Site-All-T-epoch_36.model: Trained on 12 macaques across 6 sites (2 macaques per site) from PRIME-DE. Six sites include newcastle, ucdavis, oxford, ion, ecnu-chen, and sbri.

  2. Site-All-T-epoch_36_update_with_Site_6_plus_7-epoch_09.model: Trained on 19 macaques across 13 sites from PRIME-DE (12 macaques across 6 sites used in the first model and 7 macaques across 7 additional sites) Seven sites include NIMH, ecnu-k, nin, rockefeller, uwo, mountsinai-S, and lyon.

  3. Site-All-T-epoch_36_update_with_Site_*.model: Site-specific model for NIMH, ecnu-k, nin, rockefeller, uwo, mountsinai-S, and lyon.

  4. Site-All-T-epoch_36_update_with_Site_Pigs_09.model: The pig model - Trained on 12 macaques and updated with the pig data (N=3).

Manually edited brain masks for transfer-learning training (12 macaque monkeys from 6 sites, 2 per site)

Training masks
