Classes​

DICOMSource​

class DICOMSource(    path: Union[os.PathLike, str],    images_only: bool = True,    data_cache: Optional[DataPersister] = None,    infer_class_labels_from_filepaths: bool = False,    output_path: Optional[Union[os.PathLike, str]] = None,    iterable: bool = True,    fast_load: bool = True,    cache_images: bool = False,    filter: Optional[FileSystemFilter] = None,    data_splitter: Optional[DatasetSplitter] = None,    seed: Optional[int] = None,    ignore_cols: Optional[Union[str, Sequence[str]]] = None,    modifiers: Optional[dict[str, DataPathModifiers]] = None,    partition_size: int = 16,    required_fields: Optional[Any] = None,):

Data source for loading DICOM files.

Arguments

  • ****kwargs**: Keyword arguments passed to the parent base classes.
  • cache_images: Whether to cache images in the file system. Defaults to False. This is ignored if fast_load is True.
  • data_cache: A DataPersister instance to use for data caching.
  • data_splitter: Deprecated argument, will be removed in a future release. Defaults to None. Not used.
  • fast_load: Whether the data will be loaded in fast mode. This is used to determine whether the data will be iterated over during set up for schema generation and splitting (where necessary). Only relevant if iterable is True, otherwise it is ignored. Defaults to True.
  • file_extension: The file extension of the DICOM files. Defaults to '.dcm'.
  • ignore_cols: Column/list of columns to be ignored from the data. Defaults to None.
  • images_only: If True, only dicom files containing image data will be loaded. If the file does not contain any image data, or it does but there was an error loading or saving the image(s), the whole file will be skipped. Defaults to True.
  • infer_class_labels_from_filepaths: Whether class labels should be added to the data based on the filepath of the files. Defaults to the first directory within self.path, but can go a level deeper if the datasplitter is provided with infer_data_split_labels set to true
  • iterable: Whether the data source is iterable. This is used to determine whether the data source can be used in a streaming context during a task. Defaults to True.
  • modifiers: Dictionary used for modifying paths/ extensions in the dataframe. Defaults to None.
  • output_path: The path where to save intermediary output files. Defaults to 'preprocessed/'.
  • partition_size: The size of each partition when iterating over the data in a batched fashion.
  • path: The path to the directory containing the DICOM files.
  • seed: Random number seed. Used for setting random seed for all libraries. Defaults to None.

Attributes

  • seed: Random number seed. Used for setting random seed for all libraries.

Raises

  • ValueError: If iterable is False or fast_load is False or cache_images is True.

Ancestors​

Subclasses​

Variables​

  • file_names : list[str] - Returns a list of file names in the specified directory.

    This property accounts for files skipped at runtime by filtering them out of the list of cached file names. Files may get skipped at runtime due to errors or because they don't contain any image data and images_only is True. This allows us to skip these files again more quickly if they are still present in the directory.

  • is_initialised : bool - Checks if BaseSource was initialised.
  • is_task_running : bool - Returns True if a task is running.

  • path : pathlib.Path - Resolved absolute path to data.

    Provides a consistent version of the path provided by the user which should work throughout regardless of operating system and of directory structure.

  • selected_file_names : list[str] - Returns a list of selected file names.

    Selected file names are affected by the selected_file_names_override and new_file_names_only attributes.

  • selected_file_names_differ : bool - Returns True if selected_file_names will differ from default.

    In particular, returns True iff there is a selected file names override in place and/or there is filtering for new file names only present.

Static methods​

get_num_workers​

def get_num_workers(file_names: Sequence[str]) ‑> int:

Inherited from:

FileSystemIterableSourceInferrable.get_num_workers :

Gets the number of workers to use for multiprocessing.

Ensures that the number of workers is at least 1 and at most equal to MAX_NUM_MULTIPROCESSING_WORKERS. If the number of files is less than MAX_NUM_MULTIPROCESSING_WORKERS, then we use the number of files as the number of workers. Unless the number of machine cores is also less than MAX_NUM_MULTIPROCESSING_WORKERS, in which case we use the lower of the two.

Arguments

  • file_names: The list of file names to load.

Returns The number of workers to use for multiprocessing.

Methods​

add_hook​

def add_hook(self, hook: DataSourceHook) ‑> None:

Inherited from:

FileSystemIterableSourceInferrable.add_hook :

Add a hook to the datasource.

apply_ignore_cols​

def apply_ignore_cols(self, df: pd.DataFrame) ‑> pandas.core.frame.DataFrame:

Inherited from:

FileSystemIterableSourceInferrable.apply_ignore_cols :

Apply ignored columns to dataframe, dropping columns as needed.

Returns A copy of the dataframe with ignored columns removed, or the original dataframe if this datasource does not specify any ignore columns.

apply_ignore_cols_iter​

def apply_ignore_cols_iter(    self, dfs: Iterator[pd.DataFrame],) ‑> collections.abc.Iterator[pandas.core.frame.DataFrame]:

Inherited from:

FileSystemIterableSourceInferrable.apply_ignore_cols_iter :

Apply ignored columns to dataframes from iterator.

apply_modifiers​

def apply_modifiers(self, df: pd.DataFrame) ‑> pandas.core.frame.DataFrame:

Inherited from:

FileSystemIterableSourceInferrable.apply_modifiers :

Apply column modifiers to the dataframe.

If no modifiers are specified, returns the dataframe unchanged.

clear_file_names_cache​

def clear_file_names_cache(self) ‑> None:

Inherited from:

FileSystemIterableSourceInferrable.clear_file_names_cache :

Clears the list of selected file names.

This allows the datasource to pick up any new files that have been added to the directory since the last time it was cached.

file_names_iter​

def file_names_iter(    self, as_strs: bool = False,) ‑> Union[collections.abc.Iterator[pathlib.Path], collections.abc.Iterator[str]]:

Inherited from:

FileSystemIterableSourceInferrable.file_names_iter :

Iterate over files in a directory, yielding those that match the criteria.

Arguments

  • as_strs: By default the files yielded will be yielded as Path objects. If this is True, yield them as strings instead.

get_data​

def get_data(    self, data_keys: SingleOrMulti[str], *, use_cache: bool = True, **kwargs: Any,) ‑> Optional[pandas.core.frame.DataFrame]:

Inherited from:

FileSystemIterableSourceInferrable.get_data :

Get data corresponding to the provided data key(s).

Can be used to return data for a single data key or for multiple at once. If used for multiple, the order of the output dataframe must match the order of the keys provided.

Arguments

  • data_keys: Key(s) for which to get the data of. These may be things such as file names, UUIDs, etc.
  • use_cache: Whether the cache should be used to retrieve data for these keys. Note that cached data may have some elements, particularly image-related fields such as image data or file paths, replaced with placeholder values when stored in the cache. If datacache is set on the instance, data will be _set in the cache, regardless of this argument.
  • ****kwargs**: Additional keyword arguments.

Returns A dataframe containing the data, ordered to match the order of keys in data_keys, or None if no data for those keys was available.

get_project_db_sqlite_columns​

def get_project_db_sqlite_columns(self) ‑> list[str]:

Inherited from:

FileSystemIterableSourceInferrable.get_project_db_sqlite_columns :

Returns the required columns to identify a data point.

get_project_db_sqlite_create_table_query​

def get_project_db_sqlite_create_table_query(self) ‑> str:

Inherited from:

FileSystemIterableSourceInferrable.get_project_db_sqlite_create_table_query :

Returns the required columns and types to identify a data point.

The file name is used as the primary key and the last modified date is used to determine if the file has been updated since the last time it was processed. If there is a conflict on the file name, the row is replaced with the new data to ensure that the last modified date is always up to date.

partition​

def partition(    self, iterable: Iterable[_I], partition_size: int = 1,) ‑> collections.abc.Iterable[collections.abc.Sequence[~_I]]:

Inherited from:

FileSystemIterableSourceInferrable.partition :

Takes an iterable and yields partitions of size partition_size.

The final partition may be less than size partition_size due to the variable length of the iterable.

process_sequence_field​

def process_sequence_field(    self, elem: _DICOMSequenceField,) ‑> Optional[dict[str, typing.Any]]:

Process a sequence field.

This method is called when a sequence field is encountered. It can be overridden by plugins to process specific sequence data.

tip

Override this method in your plugin if you want to process specific sequence data.

Arguments

  • elem: The DICOM data element which has its 'VR' set to 'SQ'.

Returns A dictionary containing the processed sequence data or None.

remove_hook​

def remove_hook(self, hook: DataSourceHook) ‑> None:

Inherited from:

FileSystemIterableSourceInferrable.remove_hook :

Remove a hook from the datasource.

use_file_multiprocessing​

def use_file_multiprocessing(self, file_names: Sequence[str]) ‑> bool:

Inherited from:

FileSystemIterableSourceInferrable.use_file_multiprocessing :

Check if file multiprocessing should be used.

Returns True if file multiprocessing has been enabled by the environment variable and the number of workers would be greater than 1, otherwise False. There is no need to use file multiprocessing if we are just going to use one worker - it would be slower than just loading the data in the main process.

Returns True if file multiprocessing should be used, otherwise False.

yield_data​

def yield_data(    self,    data_keys: Optional[SingleOrMulti[str]] = None,    *,    use_cache: bool = True,    partition_size: Optional[int] = None,    **kwargs: Any,) ‑> collections.abc.Iterator[pandas.core.frame.DataFrame]:

Inherited from:

FileSystemIterableSourceInferrable.yield_data :

Yields data in batches from this source.

If data_keys is specified, only yield from that subset of the data. Otherwise, iterate through the whole datasource.

Arguments

  • data_keys: An optional list of data keys to use for yielding data. Otherwise, all data in the datasource will be considered. data_keys is always provided when this method is called from the Dataset as part of a task.
  • use_cache: Whether the cache should be used to retrieve data for these data points. Note that cached data may have some elements, particularly image-related fields such as image data or file paths, replaced with placeholder values when stored in the cache. If datacache is set on the instance, data will be _set in the cache, regardless of this argument.
  • partition_size: The number of data elements to load/yield in each iteration. If not provided, defaults to the partition size configured in the datasource.
  • ****kwargs**: Additional keyword arguments.
