Codebase for the paper Patched Diffusion Models for Unsupervised Anomaly Detection presented at MIDL23.
Abstract: The use of supervised deep learning techniques to detect pathologies in brain MRI scans can be challenging due to the diversity of brain anatomy and the need for annotated data sets. An alternative approach is to use unsupervised anomaly detection, which only requires sample-level labels of healthy brains to create a reference representation. This reference representation can then be compared to unhealthy brain anatomy in a pixel-wise manner to identify abnormalities. To accomplish this, generative models are needed to create anatomically consistent MRI scans of healthy brains. While recent diffusion models have shown promise in this task, accurately generating the complex structure of the human brain remains a challenge. In this paper, we propose a method that reformulates the generation task of diffusion models as a patch-based estimation of healthy brain anatomy, using spatial context to guide and improve reconstruction. We evaluate our approach on data of tumors and multiple sclerosis lesions and demonstrate a relative improvement of 25.1% compared to existing baselines.
Data
We use the IXI data set, the BraTS21 data set and the MSLUB data set for our experiments. You can download/request the data sets here:
We apply several preprocessing steps to the data, including resampling to 1.0 mm, skull-stripping with HD-BET, registration to the SRI Atlas, cutting black boarders and N4 Bias correction.
If you’d like to use our preprocessed data, we’ve made preprocessed versions of the datasets available here (approx. 37G).
After downloading, the directory structure of <DATA_DIR> should look like this:
<DATA_DIR>
├── Train
│ └── ixi
│ ├── mask
│ └── t2
├── Test
│ ├── Brats21
│ │ ├── mask
│ │ ├── t2
│ │ └── seg
│ └── MSLUB
│ ├── mask
│ ├── t2
│ └── seg
├── splits
│ ├── Brats21_test.csv
│ ├── Brats21_val.csv
│ ├── MSLUB_val.csv
│ ├── MSLUB_test.csv
│ ├── IXI_train_fold0.csv
│ ├── IXI_train_fold1.csv
│ └── ...
└── ...
You should then specify the location of <DATA_DIR> in the pc_environment.env file. Additionally, specify the <LOG_DIR>, where runs will be saved.
Environment Set-up
