NiftyNet

NiftyNet is a TensorFlow-based open-source convolutional neural networks (CNN) platform for research in medical image analysis and image-guided therapy. NiftyNet’s modular structure is designed for sharing networks and pre-trained models. NiftyNet is a consortium of research groups (WEISS – Wellcome EPSRC Centre for Interventional and Surgical Sciences, CMIC – Centre for Medical Image Computing, HIG – High-dimensional Imaging Group), where WEISS acts as the consortium lead.

Getting started

Using NiftyNet’s modular structure you can:

  • Get started with established pre-trained networks using built-in tools
  • Adapt existing networks to your imaging data
  • Quickly build new solutions to your own image analysis problems

Please see the NiftyNet source code repository for a detailed list of features and installation instructions.

Examples

We are working to provide examples here showing how NiftyNet can be used and adapted to different image analysis problems. In the mean time please see the NiftyNet demos and network (re-)implementations.

API reference

Please see the Module Index.
