摘要:
Medical image analysis plays a key role in precision medicine. Data curation and pre-processing are critical steps in quantitative medical image analysis that can have a significant impact on the resulting performance of machine learning models. In this work, we introduce the Precision-medicine-toolbox, allowing clinical and junior researchers to perform data curation, image pre-processing, radiomics extraction, and feature exploration tasks with a customizable Python package. With this open-source tool, we aim to facilitate the crucial data preparation and exploration steps, bridge the gap between the currently existing packages, and improve the reproducibility of quantitative medical imaging research.
