MedSegDiff: Medical Image Segmentation with Diffusion Model

MedSegDiff a Diffusion Probabilistic Model (DPM) based framework for Medical Image Segmentation. The algorithm is elaborated in our paper MedSegDiff: Medical Image Segmentation with Diffusion Probabilistic Model and MedSegDiff-V2: Diffusion based Medical Image Segmentation with Transformer.

Diffusion Models work by destroying training data through the successive addition of Gaussian noise, and then learning to recover the data by reversing this noising process. After training, we can use the Diffusion Model to generate data by simply passing randomly sampled noise through the learned denoising process.In this project, we extend this idea to medical image segmentation. We utilize the original image as a condition and generate multiple segmentation maps from random noises, then perform ensembling on them to obtain the final result. This approach captures the uncertainty in medical images and outperforms previous methods on several benchmarks.

23-04-12. Added a simple evaluation file for isic dataset (script/segmentation_env). Usage: python scripts/segmentation_env.py --inp_pth *folder you save prediction images* --out_pth *folder you save ground truth images*

Requirement

pip install -r requirement.txt

Example Cases

Melanoma Segmentation from Skin Images

Run on your own dataset

It is simple to run MedSegDiff on the other datasets. Just write another data loader file following ./guided_diffusion/isicloader.py or ./guided_diffusion/bratsloader.py. Welcome to open issues if you meet any problem. It would be appreciated if you could contribute your dataset extensions. Unlike natural images, medical images vary a lot depending on different tasks. Expanding the generalization of a method requires everyone's efforts.

Suggestions for Hyperparameters and Training

To train a fine model, i.e., MedSegDiff-B in the paper, set the model hyperparameters as:

--image_size 256 --num_channels 128 --class_cond False --num_res_blocks 2 --num_heads 1 --learn_sigma True --use_scale_shift_norm False --attention_resolutions 16

diffusion hyperparameters as:

--diffusion_steps 1000 --noise_schedule linear --rescale_learned_sigmas False --rescale_timesteps False

To speed up the sampling:

--diffusion_steps 50 --dpm_solver True

run on multiple GPUs:

--multi-gpu 0,1,2 (for example)

training hyperparameters as:

--lr 5e-5 --batch_size 8

and set --num_ensemble 5 in sampling.

Run about 100,000 steps in training will be converged on most of the datasets. Note that although loss will not decrease in most of the later steps, the quality of the results are still improving. Such a process is also observed on the other DPM applications, like image generation. Hope someone smart can tell me why🥲.

I will soon publish its performance under smaller batch size (suitable to run on 24GB GPU) for the need of comparison🤗.

A setting to unleash all its potential is (MedSegDiff++):

--image_size 256 --num_channels 512 --class_cond False --num_res_blocks 12 --num_heads 8 --learn_sigma True --use_scale_shift_norm True --attention_resolutions 24

Then train it with batch size --batch_size 64 and sample it with ensemble number --num_ensemble 25.

Be a part of MedSegDiff ! Authors are YOU !

Welcome to contribute to MedSegDiff. Any technique can improve the performance or speed up the algorithm is appreciated🙏. I am writting MedSegDiff V2, aiming at Nature journals/CVPR like publication. I'm glad to list the contributors as my co-authors🤗.
