Description: # deepNeuroSeg
        There are two different segmentation tasks you can perform: White Matter Lesions (WMH - White Matter Hyperintensities) and Claustrum Segmentation. The required models will be downloaded to ~/.deepNeuroSeg as soon as needed. WMH segmentation can be performed either using FLAIR only or both FLAIR and T1. The results would be similar to our experience [1]. The default is using both of them.

        Fig.1: Segmentation result on Singapore 34 [1]. From left to right: FLAIR MR image, the associated ground truth, segmentation result using FLAIR modality only and segmentation result using FLAIR and T1 modalities. In column SegF LAIR and SegF LAIR+T1, the green area is the overlap between the segmentation maps and the ground-truth, the red pixels are the false negatives and the black ones are the false positives.
        
        Claustrum segmentation is still in development.
        
        # How to:
        Run deepNeuroSeg either in command line or Python.
        ### Command line
        deepNeuroSeg performs two different segmentation tasks. The desired task must be specified with <code>--type</code> that is either equals to <code>wmh</code> (White Matter Hyperintensities (Lesions)) or <code>c</code> (Claustrum). For example:
        ```ruby
        deepNeuroSeg --type wmh --flair YOUR_PATH.nii.gz --o YOUR_PATH
        ```
        For more details see:
        ```ruby
        deepNeuroSeg --help
        Options:
          --type [wmh|c]  Either 'wmh' (White Matter Hyperintensities) or 'c'
                          (Claustrum)
          --flair TEXT    Path to .nii.gz file of a FLAIR scan.  [required]
          --t1 TEXT       Path to .nii.gz file of a T1 scan. [optional]
          --o TEXT        Directory path where to save the resulting segmentation.
                          [required]
        ```
        The resulting mask will be saved in the user-specified directory under the name <code>out_mask.nii.gz</code>.
        ### Python
        In Python user will have to follow the following steps by creating a <code>SegmentationFactory</code> object that can have a segmentation type either <code>SegmentationType.WMH</code> or <code>SegmentationType.Claustrum</code>. An example for WMH Segmentation with both FLAIR and T1 modalities:
        ```ruby
        from deepNeuroSeg import SegmentationFactory, SegmentationType
        
        segmenter = SegmentationFactory.create_segmenter(SegmentationType.WMH, 
                                                            FLAIR_path='YOUR_PATH',
                                                            T1_path='YOUR_PATH')
        ```
        An example for WMH Segmentation with FLAIR only:
        ```ruby
        from deepNeuroSeg import SegmentationFactory, SegmentationType
        
        segmenter = SegmentationFactory.create_segmenter(SegmentationType.WMH, 
                                                            FLAIR_path='YOUR_PATH')
        ```
        Then the segmentation can be performed. Here user can specify the output directory where the segmentation mask will be saved as <code>out_mask.nii.gz</code>:
        ```ruby
        prediction = segmenter.perform_segmentation(outputDir='YOUR_PATH')
        ```
        or inspect the numpy array yourself and save it with <code>save_segmentation</code> method.
        ```ruby
        prediction = segmenter.perform_segmentation()
        segmenter.save_segmentation(mask=prediction, outputDir='YOUR_PATH')
        ```
        In both cases, the prediction can be saved in the output directory desired by the user under the name <code>out_mask.nii.gz</code>.
