Intensity

RescaleIntensity

class torchio.transforms.RescaleIntensity(out_min_max: Tuple[float, float] = (0, 1), percentiles: Tuple[float, float] = (0, 100), masking_method: str | Callable[[Tensor], Tensor] | int | Tuple[int, int, int] | Tuple[int, int, int, int, int, int] | None = None, in_min_max: Tuple[float, float] | None = None, **kwargs)[source]

Bases: NormalizationTransform

Rescale intensity values to a certain range.

Parameters:
  • out_min_max – Range \((n_{min}, n_{max})\) of output intensities. If only one value \(d\) is provided, \((n_{min}, n_{max}) = (-d, d)\).

  • percentiles – Percentile values of the input image that will be mapped to \((n_{min}, n_{max})\). They can be used for contrast stretching, as in this scikit-image example. For example, Isensee et al. use (0.5, 99.5) in their nn-UNet paper. If only one value \(d\) is provided, \((n_{min}, n_{max}) = (0, d)\).

  • masking_method – See NormalizationTransform.

  • in_min_max – Range \((m_{min}, m_{max})\) of input intensities that will be mapped to \((n_{min}, n_{max})\). If None, the minimum and maximum input intensities will be used.

  • **kwargs – See Transform for additional keyword arguments.

Example

>>> import torchio as tio
>>> ct = tio.ScalarImage('ct_scan.nii.gz')
>>> ct_air, ct_bone = -1000, 1000
>>> rescale = tio.RescaleIntensity(
...     out_min_max=(-1, 1), in_min_max=(ct_air, ct_bone))
>>> ct_normalized = rescale(ct)

Bases: IntensityTransform

Set voxels outside of mask to a constant value.

Parameters:
  • masking_method – See NormalizationTransform.

  • outside_value – Value to set for all voxels outside of the mask.

>>> subject
Colin27(Keys: ('t1', 'head', 'brain'); images: 3)

NormalizationTransform

class torchio.transforms.preprocessing.intensity.NormalizationTransform(masking_method: str | Callable[[Tensor], Tensor] | int | Tuple[int, int, int] | Tuple[int, int, int, int, int, int] | None = None, **kwargs)[source]

Bases: IntensityTransform

Base class for intensity preprocessing transforms.

Parameters:
  • masking_method

    Defines the mask used to compute the normalization statistics. It can be one of:

    • None: the mask image is all ones, i.e. all values in the image are used.

    • A string: key to a torchio.LabelMap in the subject which is used as a mask, OR an anatomical label: 'Left', 'Right', 'Anterior', 'Posterior', 'Inferior', 'Superior' which specifies a side of the mask volume to be ones.

    • A function: the mask image is computed as a function of the intensity image. The function must receive and return a torch.Tensor

  • **kwargs – See Transform for additional keyword arguments.

Example

>>> import torchio as tio
>>> subject = tio.datasets.Colin27()
>>> subject
Colin27(Keys: ('t1', 'head', 'brain'); images: 3)
>>> transform = tio.ZNormalization()  # ZNormalization is a subclass of NormalizationTransform
>>> transformed = transform(subject)  # use all values to compute mean and std
>>> transform = tio.ZNormalization(masking_method='brain')
>>> transformed = transform(subject)  # use only values within the brain
>>> transform = tio.ZNormalization(masking_method=lambda x: x > x.mean())
>>> transformed = transform(subject)  # use values above the image mean

Spatial

CropOrPad

class torchio.transforms.CropOrPad(target_shape: int | Tuple[int, int, int] | None = None, padding_mode: str | float = 0, mask_name: str | None = None, labels: Sequence[int] | None = None, **kwargs)[source]

Bases: SpatialTransform

Modify the field of view by cropping or padding to match a target shape.

This transform modifies the affine matrix associated to the volume so that physical positions of the voxels are maintained.

Parameters:
  • target_shape – Tuple \((W, H, D)\). If a single value \(N\) is provided, then \(W = H = D = N\). If None, the shape will be computed from the mask_name (and the labels, if labels is not None).

  • padding_mode – Same as padding_mode in Pad.

  • mask_name – If None, the centers of the input and output volumes will be the same. If a string is given, the output volume center will be the center of the bounding box of non-zero values in the image named mask_name.

  • labels – If a label map is used to generate the mask, sequence of labels to consider.

  • **kwargs – See Transform for additional keyword arguments.

Example

>>> import torchio as tio
>>> subject = tio.Subject(
...     chest_ct=tio.ScalarImage('subject_a_ct.nii.gz'),
...     heart_mask=tio.LabelMap('subject_a_heart_seg.nii.gz'),
... )
>>> subject.chest_ct.shape
torch.Size([1, 512, 512, 289])
>>> transform = tio.CropOrPad(
...     (120, 80, 180),
...     mask_name='heart_mask',
... )
>>> transformed = transform(subject)
>>> transformed.chest_ct.shape
torch.Size([1, 120, 80, 180])

Warning

If target_shape is None, subjects in the dataset will probably have different shapes. This is probably fine if you are using patch-based training. If you are using full volumes for training and a batch size larger than one, an error will be raised by the DataLoader while trying to collate the batches.

../_images/preprocessing-3.png
static _get_six_bounds_parameters(parameters: ndarray) Tuple[int, int, int, int, int, int][source]

Compute bounds parameters for ITK filters.

Parameters:

parameters – Tuple \((w, h, d)\) with the number of voxels to be cropped or padded.

Returns:

Tuple \((w_{ini}, w_{fin}, h_{ini}, h_{fin}, d_{ini}, d_{fin})\), where \(n_{ini} = \left \lceil \frac{n}{2} \right \rceil\) and \(n_{fin} = \left \lfloor \frac{n}{2} \right \rfloor\).

Example

>>> p = np.array((4, 0, 7))
>>> CropOrPad._get_six_bounds_parameters(p)
(2, 2, 0, 0, 4, 3)

ToCanonical

class torchio.transforms.ToCanonical(p: float = 1, copy: bool = True, include: Sequence[str] | None = None, exclude: Sequence[str] | None = None, keys: Sequence[str] | None = None, keep: Dict[str, str] | None = None, parse_input: bool = True, label_keys: Sequence[str] | None = None)[source]

Bases: SpatialTransform

Reorder the data to be closest to canonical (RAS+) orientation.

This transform reorders the voxels and modifies the affine matrix so that the voxel orientations are nearest to:

  1. First voxel axis goes from left to Right

  2. Second voxel axis goes from posterior to Anterior

  3. Third voxel axis goes from inferior to Superior

See NiBabel docs about image orientation for more information.

Parameters:

**kwargs – See Transform for additional keyword arguments.

Note

The reorientation is performed using nibabel.as_closest_canonical().

Resample

class torchio.transforms.Resample(target: float | Tuple[float, float, float] | str | Path | Image | None = 1, image_interpolation: str = 'linear', label_interpolation: str = 'nearest', pre_affine_name: str | None = None, scalars_only: bool = False, **kwargs)[source]

Bases: SpatialTransform

Resample image to a different physical space.

This is a powerful transform that can be used to change the image shape or spatial metadata, or to apply a spatial transformation.

Parameters:
  • target

    Argument to define the output space. Can be one of:

    • Output spacing \((s_w, s_h, s_d)\), in mm. If only one value \(s\) is specified, then \(s_w = s_h = s_d = s\).

    • Path to an image that will be used as reference.

    • Instance of Image.

    • Name of an image key in the subject.

    • Tuple (spatial_shape, affine) defining the output space.

  • pre_affine_name – Name of the image key (not subject key) storing an affine matrix that will be applied to the image header before resampling. If None, the image is resampled with an identity transform. See usage in the example below.

  • image_interpolation – See Interpolation.

  • label_interpolation – See Interpolation.

  • scalars_only – Apply only to instances of ScalarImage. Used internally by RandomAnisotropy.

  • **kwargs – See Transform for additional keyword arguments.

Example

>>> import torch
>>> import torchio as tio
>>> transform = tio.Resample(1)                     # resample all images to 1mm iso
>>> transform = tio.Resample((2, 2, 2))             # resample all images to 2mm iso
>>> transform = tio.Resample('t1')                  # resample all images to 't1' image space
>>> # Example: using a precomputed transform to MNI space
>>> ref_path = tio.datasets.Colin27().t1.path  # this image is in the MNI space, so we can use it as reference/target
>>> affine_matrix = tio.io.read_matrix('transform_to_mni.txt')  # from a NiftyReg registration. Would also work with e.g. .tfm from SimpleITK
>>> image = tio.ScalarImage(tensor=torch.rand(1, 256, 256, 180), to_mni=affine_matrix)  # 'to_mni' is an arbitrary name
>>> transform = tio.Resample(colin.t1.path, pre_affine_name='to_mni')  # nearest neighbor interpolation is used for label maps
>>> transformed = transform(image)  # "image" is now in the MNI space

Resize

class torchio.transforms.Resize(target_shape: int | Tuple[int, int, int], image_interpolation: str = 'linear', label_interpolation: str = 'nearest', **kwargs)[source]

Bases: SpatialTransform

Resample images so the output shape matches the given target shape.

The field of view remains the same.

Warning

In most medical image applications, this transform should not be used as it will deform the physical object by scaling anistropically along the different dimensions. The solution to change an image size is typically applying Resample and CropOrPad.

Parameters:
  • target_shape – Tuple \((W, H, D)\). If a single value \(N\) is provided, then \(W = H = D = N\). The size of dimensions set to -1 will be kept.

  • image_interpolation – See Interpolation.

  • label_interpolation – See Interpolation.

EnsureShapeMultiple

class torchio.transforms.EnsureShapeMultiple(target_multiple: int | Tuple[int, int, int], *, method: str = 'pad', **kwargs)[source]

Bases: SpatialTransform

Ensure that all values in the image shape are divisible by \(n\).

Some convolutional neural network architectures need that the size of the input across all spatial dimensions is a power of \(2\).

For example, the canonical 3D U-Net from Çiçek et al. includes three downsampling (pooling) and upsampling operations:

3D U-Net

Pooling operations in PyTorch round down the output size:

>>> import torch
>>> x = torch.rand(3, 10, 20, 31)
>>> x_down = torch.nn.functional.max_pool3d(x, 2)
>>> x_down.shape
torch.Size([3, 5, 10, 15])

If we upsample this tensor, the original shape is lost:

>>> x_down_up = torch.nn.functional.interpolate(x_down, scale_factor=2)
>>> x_down_up.shape
torch.Size([3, 10, 20, 30])
>>> x.shape
torch.Size([3, 10, 20, 31])

If we try to concatenate x_down and x_down_up (to create skip connections), we will get an error. It is therefore good practice to ensure that the size of our images is such that concatenations will be safe.

Note

In these examples, it’s assumed that all convolutions in the U-Net use padding so that the output size is the same as the input size.

The image above shows \(3\) downsampling operations, so the input size along all dimensions should be a multiple of \(2^3 = 8\).

Example (assuming pip install unet has been run before):

>>> import torchio as tio
>>> import unet
>>> net = unet.UNet3D(padding=1)
>>> t1 = tio.datasets.Colin27().t1
>>> tensor_bad = t1.data.unsqueeze(0)
>>> tensor_bad.shape
torch.Size([1, 1, 181, 217, 181])
>>> net(tensor_bad).shape

CopyAffine

class torchio.transforms.CopyAffine(target: str, **kwargs)[source]

Bases: SpatialTransform

Copy the spatial metadata from a reference image in the subject.

Small unexpected differences in spatial metadata across different images of a subject can arise due to rounding errors while converting formats.

If the shape and orientation of the images are the same and their affine attributes are different but very similar, this transform can be used to avoid errors during safety checks in other transforms and samplers.

Parameters:

target – Name of the image within the subject whose affine matrix will be used.

Example

>>> import torch
>>> import torchio as tio
>>> import numpy as np
>>> np.random.seed(0)
>>> affine = np.diag((*(np.random.rand(3) + 0.5), 1))
>>> t1 = tio.ScalarImage(tensor=torch.rand(1, 100, 100, 100), affine=affine)
>>> # Let's simulate a loss of precision
>>> # (caused for example by NIfTI storing spatial metadata in single precision)
>>> bad_affine = affine.astype(np.float16)
>>> t2 = tio.ScalarImage(tensor=torch.rand(1, 100, 100, 100), affine=bad_affine)
>>> subject = tio.Subject(t1=t1, t2=t2)
>>> resample = tio.Resample(0.5)
>>> resample(subject).shape  # error as images are in different spaces

>>> transform = tio.CopyAffine('t1')
>>> fixed = transform(subject)
>>> resample(fixed).shape
(1, 210, 244, 221)

Warning

This transform should be used with caution. Modifying the spatial metadata of an image manually can lead to incorrect processing of the position of anatomical structures. For example, a machine learning algorithm might incorrectly predict that a lesion on the right lung is on the left lung.

Crop

class torchio.transforms.Crop(cropping: int | Tuple[int, int, int] | Tuple[int, int, int, int, int, int] | None, **kwargs)[source]

Bases: BoundsTransform

Crop an image.

Parameters:
  • cropping – Tuple \((w_{ini}, w_{fin}, h_{ini}, h_{fin}, d_{ini}, d_{fin})\) defining the number of values cropped from the edges of each axis. If the initial shape of the image is \(W \times H \times D\), the final shape will be \((- w_{ini} + W - w_{fin}) \times (- h_{ini} + H - h_{fin}) \times (- d_{ini} + D - d_{fin})\). If only three values \((w, h, d)\) are provided, then \(w_{ini} = w_{fin} = w\), \(h_{ini} = h_{fin} = h\) and \(d_{ini} = d_{fin} = d\). If only one value \(n\) is provided, then \(w_{ini} = w_{fin} = h_{ini} = h_{fin} = d_{ini} = d_{fin} = n\).

  • **kwargs – See Transform for additional keyword arguments.

If you want to pass the output shape instead, please use CropOrPad instead.

Pad

class torchio.transforms.Pad(padding: int | Tuple[int, int, int] | Tuple[int, int, int, int, int, int] | None, padding_mode: str | float = 0, **kwargs)[source]

Bases: BoundsTransform

Pad an image.

Parameters:
  • padding – Tuple \((w_{ini}, w_{fin}, h_{ini}, h_{fin}, d_{ini}, d_{fin})\) defining the number of values padded to the edges of each axis. If the initial shape of the image is \(W \times H \times D\), the final shape will be \((w_{ini} + W + w_{fin}) \times (h_{ini} + H + h_{fin}) \times (d_{ini} + D + d_{fin})\). If only three values \((w, h, d)\) are provided, then \(w_{ini} = w_{fin} = w\), \(h_{ini} = h_{fin} = h\) and \(d_{ini} = d_{fin} = d\). If only one value \(n\) is provided, then \(w_{ini} = w_{fin} = h_{ini} = h_{fin} = d_{ini} = d_{fin} = n\).

  • padding_mode – See possible modes in NumPy docs. If it is a number, the mode will be set to 'constant'.

  • **kwargs – See Transform for additional keyword arguments.

Label

RemapLabels

class torchio.transforms.RemapLabels(remapping: Dict[int, int], masking_method: str | Callable[[Tensor], Tensor] | int | Tuple[int, int, int] | Tuple[int, int, int, int, int, int] | None = None, **kwargs)[source]

Bases: LabelTransform

Modify labels in a label map.

Masking can be used to split the label into two during the inverse transformation.

Parameters:
  • remapping – Dictionary that specifies how labels should be remapped. The keys are the old labels, and the corresponding values replace them.

  • masking_method

    Defines a mask for where the label remapping is applied. It can be one of:

    • None: the mask image is all ones, i.e. all values in the image are used.

    • A string: key to a torchio.LabelMap in the subject which is used as a mask, OR an anatomical label: 'Left', 'Right', 'Anterior', 'Posterior', 'Inferior', 'Superior' which specifies a half of the mask volume to be ones.

    • A function: the mask image is computed as a function of the intensity image. The function must receive and return a 4D torch.Tensor.

  • **kwargs – See Transform for additional keyword arguments.

>>> import torch
>>> import torchio as tio
>>> def get_image(*labels):
...     tensor = torch.as_tensor(labels).reshape(1, 1, 1, -1)
...     image = tio.LabelMap(tensor=tensor)
...     return image
...
>>> image = get_image(0, 1, 2, 3, 4)

>>> transform = tio.RemapLabels(remapping)
>>> transform(image).data
tensor([[[[0, 2, 1, 1, 7]]]])

Warning

The transform will not be correctly inverted if one of the values in remapping is also in the input image:

>>> tensor = torch.as_tensor([0, 1]).reshape(1, 1, 1, -1)
>>> subject = tio.Subject(label=tio.LabelMap(tensor=tensor))
>>> mapping = {3: 1}  # the value 1 is in the input image

RemoveLabels

class torchio.transforms.RemoveLabels(labels: Sequence[int], background_label: int = 0, masking_method: str | Callable[[Tensor], Tensor] | int | Tuple[int, int, int] | Tuple[int, int, int, int, int, int] | None = None, **kwargs)[source]

Bases: RemapLabels

Remove labels from a label map.

The removed labels are remapped to the background label.

This transformation is not invertible.

Parameters:
  • labels – A sequence of label integers that will be removed.

  • background_label – integer that specifies which label is considered to be background (typically, 0).

  • masking_method – See RemapLabels.

  • **kwargs – See Transform for additional keyword arguments.

SequentialLabels

class torchio.transforms.SequentialLabels(masking_method: str | Callable[[Tensor], Tensor] | int | Tuple[int, int, int] | Tuple[int, int, int, int, int, int] | None = None, **kwargs)[source]

Bases: LabelTransform

Remap labels in a label map so they become consecutive.

For example, if a label map has labels (0, 3, 5), then this will apply a RemapLabels transform with remapping={3: 1, 5: 2}, and therefore the output image will have labels (0, 1, 2).

Example

>>> import torch
>>> import torchio as tio
>>> def get_image(*labels):
...     tensor = torch.as_tensor(labels).reshape(1, 1, 1, -1)
...     image = tio.LabelMap(tensor=tensor)
...     return image
...
>>> img_with_bg = get_image(0, 5, 10)
>>> transform = tio.SequentialLabels()
>>> transform(img_with_bg).data
tensor([[[[0, 1, 2]]]])
>>> img_without_bg = get_image(7, 11, 99)
>>> transform(img_without_bg).data
tensor([[[[0, 1, 2]]]])

Note

This transformation is always fully invertible.

Warning

The background is typically represented with the label 0. There will be zeros in the output image even if they are none in the input.

Parameters:

OneHot

class torchio.transforms.OneHot(num_classes: int = -1, **kwargs)[source]

Bases: LabelTransform

Reencode label maps using one-hot encoding.

Parameters:
  • num_classes – See one_hot().

  • **kwargs – See Transform for additional keyword arguments.

Contour

class torchio.transforms.Contour(p: float = 1, copy: bool = True, include: Sequence[str] | None = None, exclude: Sequence[str] | None = None, keys: Sequence[str] | None = None, keep: Dict[str, str] | None = None, parse_input: bool = True, label_keys: Sequence[str] | None = None)[source]

Bases: LabelTransform

Keep only the borders of each connected component in a binary image.

Parameters:

**kwargs – See Transform for additional keyword arguments.

KeepLargestComponent

class torchio.transforms.KeepLargestComponent(p: float = 1, copy: bool = True, include: Sequence[str] | None = None, exclude: Sequence[str] | None = None, keys: Sequence[str] | None = None, keep: Dict[str, str] | None = None, parse_input: bool = True, label_keys: Sequence[str] | None = None)[source]

Bases: LabelTransform

Keep only the largest connected component in a binary label map.

Parameters:

**kwargs – See Transform for additional keyword arguments.

Note

For now, this transform only works for binary images, i.e., label maps with a background and a foreground class. If you are interested in extending this transform, please open a new issue.
