              origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
        
           7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
              agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
              Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
              WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
              implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
              of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
              PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the

              risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
        
           8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
              whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
              unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
              negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
              liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,

              Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
              work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
              other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
              has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
        
           9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
              the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,

# Neuro Lesion Inpainting Tool (neuroLIT) 🔥

![teaser](https://github.com/Deep-MI/neurolit/blob/main/doc/overview.png)

## Overview

This repository contains sourcecode and documentation related to our publication [**FastSurfer-LIT: Lesion Inpainting Tool for Whole Brain MRI Segmentation With Tumors, Cavities and Abnormalities**](https://doi.org/10.1162/imag_a_00446).
This tool can inpaint lesions independent of their shape or appearance for further downstream analysis. This allows subsequent analysis to run as if no lesion were present, enabling for example, FastSurfer's whole brain segmentation in cases with large brain tumors or surgical cavities. The extended documentation is located at [DeepMI.org/neurolit](https://Deep-MI.org/neurolit).

## Quickstart

### Docker / singularity

```bash
git clone https://github.com/Deep-MI/neurolit
cd neurolit
./neurolit/scripts/run_lit_containerized.sh --input_image T1w.nii.gz --lesion_mask lesion_mask.nii.gz --output_directory output_directory
# Add --singularity to use singularity instead of docker
```

### Pip

```bash
pip install neurolit
lit-inpainting --input_image T1w.nii.gz --lesion_mask lesion_mask.nii.gz --output_directory output_directory
```

## How to run neuroLIT

We recommend using containerization in combination with the [neurolit/scripts/run_lit_containerized.sh](neurolit/scripts/run_lit_containerized.sh) wrapper script.
This will automatically pull the Docker image from [Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com/r/deepmi/lit) or create a Singularity image cache and run the neuroLIT inpainting. Additional `lit-inpainting` flags such as `--dilate 2` are forwarded through the wrapper to the container entrypoint.
We also have a pip release of neuroLIT.

### Running neuroLIT

The most straight forward way of doing the inpainting is just providing

1. The T1w image
2. The lesion mask
3. An output directory
4. (optional) The number times to dilate the lesion mask (default: 0)

```bash
./neurolit/scripts/run_lit_containerized.sh --input_image T1w.nii.gz --mask_image lesion_mask.nii.gz --output_directory output_directory --dilate 2
```

The default is to use Docker. Add the `--singularity` flag to use Singularity or Apptainer instead:

```bash
./neurolit/scripts/run_lit_containerized.sh --singularity --input_image T1w.nii.gz --mask_image lesion_mask.nii.gz --output_directory output_directory
```

On first use, the image is pulled from Docker Hub — **no root required**. The image is cached in `containerization/deepmi_lit_<version>.sif` and reused on subsequent runs.

If you already have a `.sif` file, pass it directly to skip the pull:

```bash
./neurolit/scripts/run_lit_containerized.sh --singularity_image /path/to/deepmi_lit.sif --input_image T1w.nii.gz --mask_image lesion_mask.nii.gz --output_directory output_directory
```

Both `singularity` and `apptainer` (the HPC-standard open-source fork) are supported automatically.

The outputs will be placed in the output directory in the folder inpainting_volumes and contain

- The inpainted T1w image (`inpainting_result.nii.gz`)
- The (dilated) mask used for inpainting in the same space as the input image (`inpainting_mask.nii.gz`)
- The conformed original image (`inpainting_original_image.nii.gz`)

We recommend performing dilation, since undersegmentation can negatively impact the performance of the inpainting, while oversegmentation should not have significant impact.

If the source image was isotropic, the output images should have the same resolution as the input image and the area outside of the lesion mask should be preserved, except for a robust rescaling of the intensity values.

#### Installation from PyPI

The same interface as above can be accessed from pypi:

```bash
# Install the package
pip install neurolit

# Download model checkpoints (recommended - download once, ~700MB)
lit-download-models

# Run neuroLIT
lit-inpainting --input_image T1w.nii.gz --lesion_mask lesion_mask.nii.gz --output_directory output_directory --dilate 2
```

**Note:** If you skip the `lit-download-models` step, models will be automatically downloaded on first use.

## Expected Runtimes

Runtimes below are for a typical whole-brain T1w volume (1 mm isotropic), measured with neuroLIT v0.6.0:

| Hardware | Runtime |
|---|---|
| NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti (16 GB) | ~17 minutes |
| Intel Xeon w5-2465X (CPU only) | ~5.5 hours |

GPU is strongly recommended for interactive use. CPU is feasible for batch/overnight processing.

## Integration with FreeSurfer/FastSurfer

neuroLIT is being integrated into [FastSurfer](https://github.com/deep-mi/FastSurfer) for whole brain segmentation and cortical surface reconstruction of images with lesions.

For standalone usage with FreeSurfer/FastSurfer, neuroLIT provides post-processing scripts for integrating lesions into FastSurfer/FreeSurfer outputs. We recommend using the unified `lit-postprocessing` script which handles mapping the lesion mask to multiple segmentation files, running volume statistics (segstats), and performing surface masking.

### Postprocessing

This script modifies FastSurfer/FreeSurfer segmentations and surface annotation files, and the corresponading statistics (.stats) files.

```bash
# Setup paths
export FASTSURFER_HOME=/path/to/FastSurfer
export FREESURFER_HOME=/path/to/freesurfer
source $FREESURFER_HOME/SetUpFreeSurfer.sh

# Run unified postprocessing
lit-postprocessing \
    -sid SUBJECT_ID \
    -sd /path/to/subjects_dir
```

**Overview:**

- **Requirements**: Automatically checks for FastSurfer/FreeSurfer installations using `$FASTSURFER_HOME` and `$FREESURFER_HOME`. FreeSurfer is required for surface postprocessing.
- **Dynamic Configuration**: Uses `segstats_config.json` for volumetric stats and `surfstats_config.json` for surface stats. By default, all relevant FastSurfer annotation and segmentation files are modified.
- **Adjacent Label Reports**: Generates adjacency reports for lesion segmentations, allowing users to assess which regions are affected or replaced by the lesion.

The current postprocessing workflow updates the primary FastSurfer outputs in place, keeps the
pre-lesion versions as `.lit` backups or mapped backup files, and writes lesion-specific reports
such as `stats/aparc.DKTatlas+aseg.lesion_report.txt`, `stats/aseg.lesion_report.txt`, and
`stats/lesion_impact_summary.yaml`.

## Training

The training script can be found [here](neurolit/train_ddpm.py). The same docker image can be used for training, but you need to mount the training data directory using the `-v` flag. Note that training data are expected to be conformed (with the script [conform.py](neurolit/data/conform.py)).

## Documentation

Comprehensive documentation is available in the `doc/` directory and will be made public at [DeepMI.org/neurolit](https://Deep-MI.org/neurolit).

Documentation includes:

- Installation guides
- Usage tutorials
- API reference
- Contributing guidelines
