Providing the top-performing algorithms from the Brain Tumor Segmentation (BraTS) challenges, through an easy-to-use Python API powered by Docker.

## Features

- Access to top-performing algorithms from recent BraTS challenges
- Easy-to-use minimal API
- Extensive documentation and examples

## Installation

With a Python 3.8+ environment, you can install `brats` directly from [PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/brats/):

```bash
pip install brats
```

> [!IMPORTANT]  
> To run `brats`, you require a Docker installation. <br>
> Many algorithms also require GPU support (NVIDIA Docker). <br>
> In case you do not have access to a CUDA-capable GPU, the overview tables in the [Available Algorithms and Usage](#available-algorithms-and-usage) section indicate which algorithms are CPU compatible.




### Docker and NVIDIA Container Toolkit Setup

- **Docker**: Installation instructions on the official [website](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/)
- **NVIDIA Container Toolkit**: Refer to the [NVIDIA install guide](https://docs.nvidia.com/datacenter/cloud-native/container-toolkit/latest/install-guide.html) and the official [GitHub page](https://github.com/NVIDIA/nvidia-container-toolkit)

#### Meningioma Segmentation
> Segmentation of Meningioma on brain MRI exams.
<details>
<summary> Usage example (code) and top 3 participants </summary>
<br>

Unlike other segmentation challenges, the expected inputs for the Meningioma Segmentation Algorithms differ between years. 
- _2023_: All 4 modalities are used (t1c, t1n, t2f, t2w)
- _2024_: Only t1c is used  

Therefore, the usage differs slightly, depending on which algorithm is used. To understand why, please refer to the [2024 challenge manuscript](https://arxiv.org/abs/2405.18383).

```python
from brats import MeningiomaSegmenter
from brats.constants import MeningiomaAlgorithms

### Example for 2023 algorithms
segmenter = MeningiomaSegmenter(algorithm=MeningiomaAlgorithms.BraTS23_1, cuda_devices="0")
# these parameters are optional, by default the winning algorithm will be used on cuda:0
segmenter.infer_single(
    t1c="path/to/t1c.nii.gz",
    t1n="path/to/t1n.nii.gz",
    t2f="path/to/t2f.nii.gz",
    t2w="path/to/t2w.nii.gz",
    output_file="segmentation_23.nii.gz",
)

### Example for 2024 algorithms
segmenter = MeningiomaSegmenter(algorithm=MeningiomaAlgorithms.BraTS24_1, cuda_devices="0")
segmenter.infer_single(
    t1c="path/to/t1c.nii.gz",
    output_file="segmentation_24.nii.gz",
)
```
