This repository contains the source code for Sybil, a neural network used for lung cancer prediction based on low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) scans.

For general usage, we recommend using the public Docker container which has been packaged with Ark.
See the Ark wiki for more complete documentation.

Example scripts for bash, batch, and powershell: ark_predict.zip. Each of these scripts accepts a directory, host, and port as input. The script then submits every DICOM image in the input directory to the host, assuming that the ark server is running.

Prediction using published container

A pre-built container is available on Docker Hub at https://hub.docker.com/r/mitjclinic/sybil.

The following commands are an example of how to download and run the container, as well as submit images for prediction.

# Run published container
docker run --rm -d -p 5000:5000 mitjclinic/sybil:latest

# Check container is running, get version
curl http://localhost:5000/info

# Download and unzip zip file with scripts
curl -L -o ark_predict.zip "https://github.com/reginabarzilaygroup/ark/files/14299465/ark_predict.zip"
tar -xf ark_predict.zip

# Download example data
curl -L -o sybil_example.zip "https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/covbvo6f547kak4em3cjd/sybil_example.zip?rlkey=7a13nhlc9uwga9x7pmtk1cf1c&dl=1"
tar -xf sybil_example.zip

# Submit images for prediction
# Mac/Linx
./ark_predict.sh sybil_demo_data

# For windows, use this command instead
# .\ark_predict.ps1 sybil_demo_data
