The Hippocampal Segmentation Factory (HSF) is a Python package for the segmentation of the hippocampal subfields in raw MRI volumes.

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/clementpoiret/HSF/master/docs/resources/header.svg

The main idea is to have a one-liner tool that allows the user to segment the hippocampal subfields in a given raw image (T1w or T2w), while keeping as much modularity and customization options as possible.

HSF will be able to segment the following subfields:

  • Dentate gyrus (DG),

  • Cornu Ammonis (CA1, CA2 & CA3) in a flexible way (e.g. you can ask to combine CA2 and CA3),

  • Subiculum (SUB).

HSF will segment the hippocampus from head to tail: it will produce an homogeneous segmentation from the anterior hippocampus (head), to the posterior hippocampus (tail), without assigning a specific head or tail class.

HSF results from a collaborative effort:

  1. We are continuously working on improving the segmentation of the subfields, mainly by adding new manually segmented MRIs (feel free to send us yours if you can, thanks!)

  2. HSF proposes a “Model Hub”, meaning that anyone can distribute their own ONNX segmentation model. Just send us a small *.yaml config file, and the end-user will effortlessly be able to use HSF with your model.

Please note that the tool is still under development and is not yet ready for production use. It uses multiple expert deep learning models trained on 700+ manually segmented hippocampi which are not yet fully polished.

HSF uses inference sessions provided by ONNXRuntime, which means that it can be used theoretically on Windows, MacOS and Linux, and the following hardware accelerations: CPU, CUDA, DirectML, OneDNN, OpenVINO, TensorRT, NUPHAR, Vitis AI, ACL, ArmNN, MIGraphX, and Rockchip NPU. Please be aware that we do not tested all possible configurations, as HSF has been tested only on CPU and CUDA on Linux (Debian-based and Arch-based distros).

Since v1.0.0, HSF also provides a DeepSparse backend which can be used in conjunction with pruned and int8 quantized models to deliver a much faster CPU inference speed (see [Hardware Acceleration](user-guide/configuration.md) section).

Installation

To install the package, first setup an environment suitable for your backend (e.g. ONNX Runtime).

If the environment isn’t properly configured, you might be stuck running inference sessions on CPU, which is not optimal unless you use the DeepSparse backend.

Then, simply run:

pip install hsf.

Quick start

Once installed, HSF can be used simply by running the hsf command.

For example, to segment a set of T2w MRIs of 0.3*0.3*1.2, run:

hsf files.path="~/Dataset/MRIs/" files.pattern="*T2w.nii" roiloc.contrast="t2" roiloc.margin=[10,2,10] segmentation=bagging_accurate segmentation.ca_mode="1/2/3"

Now, let’s dive into the details.

files.path and files.pattern are mandatory parameters. They specify the path to the dataset (or MRI) and the pattern to find the files.

All parameters starting with roiloc. are directly linked to our home-made ROI location algorithm. You can find more information about it in the related GitHub repository.

To date, we propose 4 different segmentation algorithms (from the fastest to the most accurate):

  • single_fast: a segmentation is performed on the whole volume by only one model,

  • single_accurate: a single model segments the same volume that has been augmented 20 times through TTA,

  • single_sq: like single_accurate, but using int8-quantized sparse models for a fast and efficient inference,

  • bagging_fast: a bagging ensemble of 5 models is used to segment the volume without TTA,

  • bagging_accurate: a bagging ensemble of 5 models is used to segment the volume with TTA,

  • bagging_sq: like bagging_accurate, but using int8-quantized sparse models for a fast and efficient inference.

Finally, segmentation.ca_mode is a parameter that allows to combine CA1, CA2 and CA3 subfields. It is particularly useful when you want to segment low-resolution images where it makes no sense to distinguish between CA’s subfields.

Configuration

As HSF is pretty modular, you can easily configure it to your needs thanks to Hydra.

Compose your configuration from those groups (group=option)

  • augmentation: default

  • files: default

  • hardware: deepsparse, onnxruntime

  • multispectrality: default

  • roiloc: default_corot2, default_t2iso

  • segmentation: bagging_accurate, bagging_fast, bagging_sq, single_accurate, single_fast, single_sq

Override anything in the config (e.g. hsf roiloc.margin=[16,2,16])

You can also add specific configs absent from the default yaml files (e.g. hsf +augmentation.elastic.image_interpolation=sitkBSpline)

Fields set with ??? are mandatory.

files:

  • path: ???

  • pattern: ???

  • mask_pattern: *mask.nii.gz

  • contrast: t2
