Tools like TorchIO are a symptom of the maturation of medical AI research using deep learning techniques.

(Queue for patch-based training)

TorchIO is a Python package containing a set of tools to efficiently read, preprocess, sample, augment, and write 3D medical images in deep learning applications written in PyTorch, including intensity and spatial transforms for data augmentation and preprocessing. Transforms include typical computer vision operations such as random affine transformations and also domain-specific ones such as simulation of intensity artifacts due to MRI magnetic field inhomogeneity or k-space motion artifacts.

This package has been greatly inspired by NiftyNet, which is not actively maintained anymore.
