TorchXRayVision

	(🎬 promo video) )

What is it?

A library for chest X-ray datasets and models. Including pre-trained models.

TorchXRayVision is an open source software library for working with chest X-ray datasets and deep learning models. It provides a common interface and common pre-processing chain for a wide set of publicly available chest X-ray datasets. In addition, a number of classification and representation learning models with different architectures, trained on different data combinations, are available through the library to serve as baselines or feature extractors.

• In the case of researchers addressing clinical questions it is a waste of time for them to train models from scratch. To address this, TorchXRayVision provides pre-trained models which are trained on large cohorts of data and enables 1) rapid analysis of large datasets 2) feature reuse for few-shot learning.
• In the case of researchers developing algorithms it is important to robustly evaluate models using multiple external datasets. Metadata associated with each dataset can vary greatly which makes it difficult to apply methods to multiple datasets. TorchXRayVision provides access to many datasets in a uniform way so that they can be swapped out with a single line of code. These datasets can also be merged and filtered to construct specific distributional shifts for studying generalization.

Getting started

$ pip install torchxrayvision

import torchxrayvision as xrv
import skimage, torch, torchvision

# Prepare the image:
img = skimage.io.imread("16747_3_1.jpg")
img = xrv.datasets.normalize(img, 255) # convert 8-bit image to [-1024, 1024] range
img = img.mean(2)[None, ...] # Make single color channel

transform = torchvision.transforms.Compose([xrv.datasets.XRayCenterCrop(),xrv.datasets.XRayResizer(224)])

img = transform(img)
img = torch.from_numpy(img)

# Load model and process image
model = xrv.models.DenseNet(weights="densenet121-res224-all")
outputs = model(img[None,...]) # or model.features(img[None,...]) 

# Print results
dict(zip(model.pathologies,outputs[0].detach().numpy()))

Models (demo notebook)

Specify weights for pretrained models (currently all DenseNet121) Note: Each pretrained model has 18 outputs. The all model has every output trained. However, for the other weights some targets are not trained and will predict randomly becuase they do not exist in the training dataset. The only valid outputs are listed in the field {dataset}.pathologies on the dataset that corresponds to the weights.

## 224x224 models
model = xrv.models.DenseNet(weights="densenet121-res224-all")
model = xrv.models.DenseNet(weights="densenet121-res224-rsna") # RSNA Pneumonia Challenge
model = xrv.models.DenseNet(weights="densenet121-res224-nih") # NIH chest X-ray8
model = xrv.models.DenseNet(weights="densenet121-res224-pc") # PadChest (University of Alicante)
model = xrv.models.DenseNet(weights="densenet121-res224-chex") # CheXpert (Stanford)
model = xrv.models.DenseNet(weights="densenet121-res224-mimic_nb") # MIMIC-CXR (MIT)
model = xrv.models.DenseNet(weights="densenet121-res224-mimic_ch") # MIMIC-CXR (MIT)

# 512x512 models
model = xrv.models.ResNet(weights="resnet50-res512-all")

# DenseNet121 from JF Healthcare for the CheXpert competition
model = xrv.baseline_models.jfhealthcare.DenseNet() 

# Official Stanford CheXpert model
model = xrv.baseline_models.chexpert.DenseNet()

Benchmarks of the modes are here: BENCHMARKS.md and the performance of some of the models can be seen in this paper arxiv.org/abs/2002.02497.

Autoencoders

You can also load a pre-trained autoencoder that is trained on the PadChest, NIH, CheXpert, and MIMIC datasets.

ae = xrv.autoencoders.ResNetAE(weights="101-elastic")
z = ae.encode(image)
image2 = ae.decode(z)

Dataset fields

Each dataset contains a number of fields. These fields are maintained when xrv.datasets.Subset_Dataset and xrv.datasets.Merge_Dataset are used.

• .pathologies This field is a list of the pathologies contained in this dataset that will be contained in the .labels field ].

• .labels This field contains a 1,0, or NaN for each label defined in .pathologies.

• .csv This field is a pandas DataFrame of the metadata csv file that comes with the data. Each row aligns with the elements of the dataset so indexing using .iloc will work.

If possible, each dataset's .csv will have some common fields of the csv. These will be aligned when The list is as follows:

• csv.patientid A unique id that will uniqely identify samples in this dataset

• csv.offset_day_int An integer time offset for the image in the unit of days. This is expected to be for relative times and has no absolute meaning although for some datasets it is the epoch time.

• csv.age_years The age of the patient in years.

• csv.sex_male If the patient is male

• csv.sex_female If the patient is female

Dataset tools

relabel_dataset will align labels to have the same order as the pathologies argument.

xrv.datasets.relabel_dataset(xrv.datasets.default_pathologies , d_nih) # has side effects

Pathology masks (demo notebook)

Masks are available in the following datasets:

xrv.datasets.RSNA_Pneumonia_Dataset() # for Lung Opacity
xrv.datasets.SIIM_Pneumothorax_Dataset() # for Pneumothorax
xrv.datasets.NIH_Dataset() # for Cardiomegaly, Mass, Effusion, ...

Example usage:

d_rsna = xrv.datasets.RSNA_Pneumonia_Dataset(imgpath="stage_2_train_images_jpg", 
                                            views=["PA","AP"],
                                            pathology_masks=True)
                                            
# The has_masks column will let you know if any masks exist for that sample
d_rsna.csv.has_masks.value_counts()
False    20672
True      6012       

# Each sample will have a pathology_masks dictionary where the index 
# of each pathology will correspond to a mask of that pathology (if it exists).
# There may be more than one mask per sample. But only one per pathology.
sample["pathology_masks"][d_rsna.pathologies.index("Lung Opacity")]

it also works with data_augmentation if you pass in data_aug=data_transforms to the dataloader. The random seed is matched to align calls for the image and the mask.

Distribution shift tools (demo notebook)

The class xrv.datasets.CovariateDataset takes two datasets and two arrays representing the labels. The samples will be returned with the desired ratio of images from each site. The goal here is to simulate a covariate shift to make a model focus on an incorrect feature. Then the shift can be reversed in the validation data causing a catastrophic failure in generalization performance.

ratio=0.0 means images from d1 will have a positive label ratio=0.5 means images from d1 will have half of the positive labels ratio=1.0 means images from d1 will have no positive label

With any ratio the number of samples returned will be the same.

d = xrv.datasets.CovariateDataset(d1 = # dataset1 with a specific condition
                                  d1_target = #target label to predict,
                                  d2 = # dataset2 with a specific condition
                                  d2_target = #target label to predict,
                                  mode="train", # train, valid, and test
                                  ratio=0.9)
