SegTransVAE: Hybrid CNN - Transformer with Regularization for medical image segmentation

This repo is the official implementation for SegTransVAE.

SegTransVAE

Here is the network architecture of SegTransVAE, a hybrid CNN-Transformer-VAE for medical image segmentation

Requirements

• python 3.8
• pytorch 1.8.0
• monai 0.6
• pytorch lightning
• nibabel
• itk

Data

After downloading BraTS 2021 dataset, create a json file, which contains the path to images and the correspoding labels as follow

Training

Run the training script on BraTS dataset. Change the model hyperparameters setup in trainer.py. When everything is finish, go to lightning_train.py to config multi-gpu training or half-precision training.

python lightning_train.py --exp EXP 

EXP is the name of the experiment and it will save all the checkpoint and the logs based on that experiment name.

Testing

After finish training, you can test your model by replace the path to the checkpoints in lightning_test.py

python lightning_test.py

Then the evaluation metric will print in the terminal, including dice score and 95% hausdorff distance.

Quantitative result

Quantitive comparison of performance on BraTS 2021 (our test set)

Quantitive comparison of performance on KiTS19 with 5-fold cross validation.

Visual Comparision with SOTA Methods

Visual Comparision of our method on BraTS 2021 and KiTS19 dataset with 3D U-Net, SegresnetVAE and UNETR.

Complexity

The complexity of SegTransVAE is compared to other models in terms of the number of parameters and the averaged inference time. The benchmark is calculated based on the input size of (4, 128, 128, 128)
