MONAI Tutorials

This repository hosts the MONAI tutorials.

1. Requirements

Most of the examples and tutorials require matplotlib and Jupyter Notebook.

These can be installed with:

python -m pip install -U pip
python -m pip install -U matplotlib
python -m pip install -U notebook

Some of the examples may require optional dependencies. In case of any optional import errors, please install the relevant packages according to MONAI's installation guide. Or install all optional requirements with:

pip install -r https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Project-MONAI/MONAI/dev/requirements-dev.txt

Run the notebooks from Colab

Most of the Jupyter Notebooks have an "Open in Colab" button. Please right-click on the button, and select "Open Link in New Tab" to start a Colab page with the corresponding notebook content.

To use GPU resources through Colab, please remember to change the runtime type to GPU:

From the Runtime menu select Change runtime type
Choose GPU from the drop-down menu
Click SAVE This will reset the notebook and may ask you if you are a robot (these instructions assume you are not).

Running:

!nvidia-smi

in a cell will verify this has worked and show you what kind of hardware you have access to.

Data

Some notebooks will require additional data. They can be downloaded by running the runexamples.sh script.

2. Questions and bugs

For questions relating to the use of MONAI, please us our Discussions tab on the main repository of MONAI.
For bugs relating to MONAI functionality, please create an issue on the main repository.
For bugs relating to the running of a tutorial, please create an issue in this repository.

3. Note to developers

During integration testing, we run these notebooks. To save time, we modify variables to avoid unecessary for loop iterations. Hence, during training please use the variables max_epochs and val_interval for the number of training epochs and validation interval, respectively.

If your notebook doesn't use the idea of epochs, then please add it to the variable doesnt_contain_max_epochs in runner.sh. This lets the runner know that it's not a problem if it doesn't find max_epochs.

If you have any other variables that would benefit by setting them to 1 during testing, add them to strings_to_replace in runner.sh.
