# Advanced Normalization Tools for Deep Learning in Python (ANTsPyNet)

A collection of deep learning architectures and applications ported to the Python language and tools for basic medical image processing. Based on `keras` and `tensorflow` with cross-compatibility with our R analog [ANTsRNet](https://github.com/ANTsX/ANTsRNet/). ANTsPyNet provides three high-level features:

- A large collection of common deep learning architectures for medical imaging that can be initialized
- Various pre-trained deep learning models to perform key medical imaging tasks
- Utility functions to improve training and evaluating of deep learning models on medical images

## Overview

<summary>Installation</summary>

### Binaries

The easiest way to install ANTsPyNet is via pip.

```
python -m pip install antspynet
```

### From Source

Alternatively, you can download and install from source.

```
git clone https://github.com/ANTsX/ANTsPyNet
cd ANTsPyNet
python -m pip install .
```

<!--
## Quickstart

The core functionality that ANTsPyNet provides is the ability to initialize a Deep Learning model based on our large collection of model architectures specifically tailored for medical images. You can then train these initialized models using your standard `keras` or `tensorflow` workflows.

An example of initializing a deep learning model based on the is provided here:

```python
from antspynet.architectures import create_autoencoder_model
model = create_autoencoder_model((784, 500, 500, 2000, 10))
model.summary()
```

We also provide a collection of pre-trained models that can perform key medical imaging processing tasks such as brain extraction, segmentation, cortical thickness, and more. An example of reading a brain image using `ANTsPy` and then performing brain extraction using our pre-trained model in `ANTsPyNet` is presented here:

```python
import ants
import antspynet

t1 = ants.image_read(antspynet.get_antsxnet_data('mprage_hippmapp3r'))

seg = antspynet.brain_extraction(t1, modality="t1", verbose=True)
ants.plot(t1, overlay=seg, overlay_alpha=0.5)
```
