Core Concepts
seg-metrics is a valuable Python package that offers standardized and user-friendly interfaces for medical image segmentation model evaluation, addressing the issue of cherry-picking metrics in scientific studies.
Abstract
Standalone Note here
Segmentation Metrics Trends in Medical Imaging Studies:
Concerns over selective emphasis on metrics in MIS studies.
Lack of universal metric library leads to inconsistent evaluation.
Introduction of seg-metrics Package:
Offers overlap-based and distance-based metrics.
Supports multiple file formats and easy installation via PyPI.
Comparison with Existing Packages:
SimpleITK lacks direct MIS evaluation support.
Medpy mainly supports binary segmentation operations.
Key Evaluation Metrics:
Overlap-based metrics include Dice Coefficient, Jaccard index, Precision, Recall, etc.
Distance-based metrics like Hausdorff distance and surface distances are crucial.
Installation Process:
Easily installable through PyPI with a single line command.
Use Cases and Syntax Examples:
Evaluate images with specific labels, paths, and metrics.
Calculate various metrics simultaneously for efficient assessment.
Advantages Over Medpy:
seg-metrics is faster, more convenient, and powerful for multi-label segmentation.
Limitations and Future Improvements:
Consider changing package name for clarity during usage.
Plan to support more image formats and provide detailed usage guides.
