# SCISeg: Automatic Segmentation of T2-weighted Intramedullary Lesions in Spinal Cord Injury

[![RadAI](https://img.shields.io/badge/RadAI:SCIsegV1-10.1148/ryai.240005-blue.svg)](https://doi.org/10.1148/ryai.240005) [![arXiv](https://img.shields.io/badge/arXiv:SCIsegV2-2407.17265-b31b1b.svg)](https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2407.17265)

This repository contains the code for deep learning-based segmentation of the spinal cord and intramedullary lesions in spinal cord injury (SCI). The code is based on the [nnUNetv2 framework](https://github.com/MIC-DKFZ/nnUNet). The segmentation model is available as part of [Spinal Cord Toolbox (SCT)](https://spinalcordtoolbox.com) via the `sct_deepseg` function; see [Using SCIsegV2](#using-scisegv2) section for details.

## Model Overview

The model was trained on raw T2-weighted images of SCI patients from seven sites comprising traumatic (acute preoperative, intermediate, chronic) and non-traumatic (ischemic SCI and degenerative cervical myelopathy, DCM) SCI lesions. The data included images with heterogenous resolutions (axial/sagittal/isotropic) and scanner strengths (1T/1.5T/3T). To ensure uniformity across sites, all images were initially re-oriented to RPI. Given an input image, the model is able to segment *both* the lesion and the spinal cord.

## Updates

### 2025-05-08

* As of [SCT v7.0](https://github.com/spinalcordtoolbox/spinalcordtoolbox/releases/tag/7.0), SCIsegV2 is available via the updated `sct_deepseg lesion_sci_t2` command, for example: `sct_deepseg lesion_sci_t2 -i <INPUT>`. See the [Getting the lesion and spinal cord segmentation](#getting-the-lesion-and-spinal-cord-segmentation) section for details.

### 2024-09-19

* We have added a new tutorial on how to use the SCIsegV2 model for lesion segmentation and tissue bridges computation. The tutorial is available [here](https://spinalcordtoolbox.com/user_section/tutorials/lesion-analysis.html).

### 2024-07-24

* We have released **SCIsegV2: A Universal Model for Intramedullary Lesion Segmentation in SCI**. The new model is trained on a larger cohort covering both traumatic and non-traumatic SCI lesions. SCIsegV2 is available as part of the SCT via the `sct_deepseg` function; see the installation instructions below.
* The computation of midsagittal tissue bridges is now fully-automated and powered by SCIsegV2. The automatic computation of tissue bridges is available via the `sct_analyze_lesion` function as part of SCT v6.4 and higher.
* We have moved away from ANIMA metrics and have started to use MetricsReloaded instead. This [wrapper script](https://github.com/ivadomed/MetricsReloaded/blob/main/compute_metrics_reloaded.py) is used to compute metrics and an internal fork of the package is maintained [here](https://github.com/ivadomed/MetricsReloaded).
* The computation of midsagittal tissue bridges is now fully-automated and powered by SCIsegV2. The automatic computation of tissue bridges is available via the `sct_analyze_lesion` function as part of SCT v6.4 and higher.

## Using SCIsegV2

### Install dependencies

- [Spinal Cord Toolbox (SCT) v7.0](https://github.com/spinalcordtoolbox/spinalcordtoolbox/releases/tag/7.0) or higher - follow the installation instructions [here](https://github.com/spinalcordtoolbox/spinalcordtoolbox?tab=readme-ov-file#installation)
- [conda](https://conda.io/projects/conda/en/latest/user-guide/install/index.html) 
- Python (v3.9)

Once the dependencies are installed, download the latest SCIseg model:

```bash
sct_deepseg lesion_sci_t2 -install
```

### Getting the lesion and spinal cord segmentation

To segment a single image, run the following command:

```bash
sct_deepseg lesion_sci_t2 -i <INPUT>
```

For example:

```bash
sct_deepseg lesion_sci_t2 -i sub-001_T2w.nii.gz
```

The outputs will be saved in the same directory as the input image, with the suffix `_lesion_seg.nii.gz` for the lesion 
and `_sc_seg.nii.gz` for the spinal cord.

### Automatic measurements of midsagittal tissue bridges

This new functionality is available via [SCT](https://github.com/spinalcordtoolbox/spinalcordtoolbox)'s `sct_analyze_lesion`. The function computes the midsagittal tissue bridges and outputs the ventral and dorsal tissue bridges.

```bash
sct_analyze_lesion -m <SUBJECT>_lesion_seg.nii.gz -s <SUBJECT>_sc_seg.nii.gz
```
