Recurrent Tissue-Aware Network for Deformable Registration of Infant Brain MR Images

Code review processing. Welcome for any bug report!

Background

Infant brain image registration is crucial for longitudinal and population-based analysis. It can help study early brain development during infancy, often with dynamic volumetric and morphometric changes. While deformable image registration serves as an important tool to quantify these changes, the rapid brain development during infancy makes the task challenging. Someone may have concern about using the intensity images directly for infant brain MR image registration. Here, we have validated the traditional registration methods like Demons and ANTs, and deep-learning-based VoxelMorph to register intensity images directly.

Instruction

This code is for registering infant brain MR images. The registration is based on the segmentation map (gray matter, white matter). You can try to modify the directory in train.py to train your model. Or you can directly use test.py to test your data, where a trained model is given in ./models.

  • For obtaining an ACTA-Reg-Net, you need to work on ./src/demo.sh to run all the experiments.

Requirements

  • Python 3.6 (3.7 should work well)
  • Tensorflow 1.10 (any 1.xx version should work well)
  • Keras 2.2.4
  • Bash

You can choose to run

pip install -r requirements.txt

Or you can perform

conda create -n tf10-py36 python=3.6
conda activate tf10-py36
conda install tensorflow-gpu==1.10

Train

python train.py

For training your dataset, you need to modify the data directory in the trian.py. For our task, we save the infant brian images into the ../data/MAPS_DATASET/Train_Set. After this step, you have obtained your Reg-Net, which is supposed to generate smooth deformation fields. Then, you can execute the demo.sh to perform an 'auto-context' manner to boost the registration performance.

Test for the single TA-Net

python test.py gpu_id ../models/ iteration_num fixed.nii.gz moving.nii.gz moving_label.nii.gz

Demo for RTA-Net

cd ./src
./demo.sh -m moving.nii.gz -l moving_label.nii.gz -n save_dir -f fixed.nii.gz

The results are saved into ../data/results/*, including the warped moving image, moving label, deformation field, and displacement uncertainty map.
