AeroPath

automatic airway segmentation using deep learning

AeroPath was developed by SINTEF Medical Image Analysis to accelerate medical AI research.

Brief intro

This web application enables users to easily test our deep learning model for airway segmentation in CTs. The plugin is built on top of gradio using the same backend as used for the Raidionics software. Raidionics is an open-source, free-to-use desktop application for pre- and postoperative central nervous system tumor segmentation and standardized reporting, but the same core backend principles can easily be adapted to other applications, as demonstrated in this repository.

Demo

Development

Docker

Alternatively, you can deploy the software locally. Note that this is only relevant for development purposes. Simply dockerize the app and run it:

docker build -t AeroPath .
docker run -it -p 7860:7860 AeroPath

Then open http://127.0.0.1:7860 in your favourite internet browser to view the demo.

Python

It is also possible to run the app locally without Docker. Just setup a virtual environment and run the app. Note that the current working directory would need to be adjusted based on where AeroPath is located on disk.

git clone https://github.com/raidionics/AeroPath.git
cd AeroPath/

virtualenv -python3 venv --clear
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r ./demo/requirements.txt

python demo/app.py --cwd ./

Troubleshooting

Due to share=True being enabled by default when launching the app, internet access is required for the app to be launched. This can disabled by setting the argument to --share 0.
