Radiomics feature extraction in Python

This is an open-source python package for the extraction of Radiomics features from medical imaging.

With this package we aim to establish a reference standard for Radiomic Analysis, and provide a tested and maintained open-source platform for easy and reproducible Radiomic Feature extraction. By doing so, we hope to increase awareness of radiomic capabilities and expand the community.

The platform supports both the feature extraction in 2D and 3D and can be used to calculate single values per feature for a region of interest ("segment-based") or to generate feature maps ("voxel-based").

Not intended for clinical use.

Feature Classes

Currently supports the following feature classes:

First Order Statistics
Shape-based (2D and 3D)
Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM)
Gray Level Run Length Matrix (GLRLM)
Gray Level Size Zone Matrix (GLSZM)
Gray Level Dependece Matrix (GLDM)
Neighboring Gray Tone Difference Matrix (NGTDM)

Filter Classes

Aside from the feature classes, there are also some built-in optional filters:

Laplacian of Gaussian (LoG, based on SimpleITK functionality)
Wavelet (using the PyWavelets package)
Square
Square Root
Logarithm
Exponential
Gradient (Magnitude)
Local Binary Pattern (LBP) 2D / 3D

Supporting reproducible extraction

Aside from calculating features, the pyradiomics package includes provenance information in the output. This information contains information on used image and mask, as well as applied settings and filters, thereby enabling fully reproducible feature extraction.

Documentation

For more information, see the sphinx generated documentation available here.

Alternatively, you can generate the documentation by checking out the master branch and running from the root directory:

python setup.py build_sphinx

The documentation can then be viewed in a browser by opening PACKAGE_ROOT\build\sphinx\html\index.html.

Furthermore, an instruction video is available here.

Installation

PyRadiomics is OS independent and compatible with Python >= 3.5. Pre-built binaries are available on PyPi and Conda. To install PyRadiomics, ensure you have python installed and run:

`python -m pip install pyradiomics`

Detailed installation instructions, as well as instructions for building PyRadiomics from source, are available in the documentation.

Docker

PyRadiomics also supports Dockers. Currently, 2 dockers are available:

The first one is a Jupyter notebook with PyRadiomics pre-installed with example Notebooks.

To get the Docker:

docker pull radiomics/pyradiomics:latest

The radiomics/notebook Docker has an exposed volume (/data) that can be mapped to the host system directory. For example, to mount the current directory:

docker run --rm -it --publish 8888:8888 -v `pwd`:/data radiomics/notebook

or for a less secure notebook, skip the randomly generated token

docker run --rm -it --publish 8888:8888 -v `pwd`:/data radiomics/notebook start-notebook.sh --NotebookApp.token=''

and open the local webpage at http://localhost:8888/ with the current directory at http://localhost:8888/tree/data.

The second is a docker which exposes the PyRadiomics CLI interface. To get the CLI-Docker:

docker pull radiomics/pyradiomics:CLI

You can then use the PyRadiomics CLI as follows:

docker run radiomics/pyradiomics:CLI --help

For more information on using docker, see here

Usage

PyRadiomics can be easily used in a Python script through the featureextractor module. Furthermore, PyRadiomics provides a commandline script, pyradiomics, for both single image extraction and batchprocessing. Finally, a convenient front-end interface is provided as the 'Radiomics' extension for 3D Slicer, available here.

3rd-party packages used in pyradiomics:

SimpleITK (Image loading and preprocessing)
numpy (Feature calculation)
PyWavelets (Wavelet filter)
pykwalify (Enabling yaml parameters file checking)
six (Python 3 Compatibility)
scipy (Only for LBP filter, install separately to enable this filter)
scikit-image (Only for LBP filter, install separately to enable this filter)
trimesh (Only for LBP filter, install separately to enable this filter)

3D Slicer

PyRadiomics is also available as an extension to 3D Slicer. Download and install the 3D slicer nightly build, the extension is then available in the extension manager under "SlicerRadiomics".
