PicoUNet for BraTS 2020 Tumor Segmentation

This model is a deep learning model for 3D/2D brain tumor segmentation, trained on the BraTS 2020 dataset. It uses a PicoUNet architecture (a lightweight variant of U-Net) to segment brain tumors from MRI scans.

Model Description

Architecture: PicoUNet (Encoder-Decoder with Skip Connections)
Input Modalities: 2 Channels (FLAIR, T1Ce) -> Note: Standard BraTS has 4 (T1, T1Ce, T2, FLAIR), this model uses a subset.
Output Classes: 4 classes (mapped from BraTS labels)
- Class 0: Background
- Class 1: Necrotic and Non-Enhancing Tumor Core (NCR/NET) - BraTS label 1
- Class 2: Edema (ED) - BraTS label 2
- Class 3: Enhancing Tumor (ET) - BraTS label 4 (Label 4 is mapped to 3)

Dataset

The model fits on the MICCAI BraTS 2020 Challenge Data. The dataset consists of multimodal MRI scans of glioblastoma (GBM/HGG) and lower-grade glioma (LGG). All volumes are registered to the same template space (SRI24) and interpolated to the same resolution ($1 mm^3$).

Preprocessing

Slicing: 2D axial slices were extracted.
Resizing: Images were resized to 128x128.
Normalization: Min-Max normalization per slice.

Training Configuration

Auto-generated from the model checkpoint:

Epochs Trained: 85
Validation Loss: 0.020408
Experiment Name: Brats-NanoUNet
Batch Size: 64
Learning Rate: 0.03
Seed: 42
Optimizer: SGD (Momentum 0.9)
Loss Function: CrossEntropyLoss (or DiceLoss depending on experiment)

Usage

To use this model, you need to preprocess your input image similarly to the training pipeline (extract 2 channels: FLAIR and T1Ce, resize to 128x128).

python

import torch
from miccai_brats.models.unet.unet import PicoUNet

# 1. Instantiate Model
model = PicoUNet(in_channels=2, num_classes=4)

# 2. Load Checkpoint
checkpoint = torch.load("best_model.pth", map_location="cpu")
model.load_state_dict(checkpoint['model_state_dict'])

model.eval()

# 3. Inference
input_tensor = torch.randn(1, 2, 128, 128) # Fake Batch of [FLAIR, T1Ce]
with torch.no_grad():
    output = model(input_tensor)
    prediction = torch.argmax(output, dim=1)

print("Predicted shape:", prediction.shape) # [1, 128, 128]

Intended Use & Limitations

Research Use Only: This model is for educational and research purposes. It is not intended for clinical use.
Performance: This is a "Pico" variant, optimized for speed and low compute, not for state-of-the-art accuracy.
