BRATS 2017

Brain Tumor Image Segmentation Challenge 2017

This is an approach for brain tumor segmentation based on a multi-path CNN.

---

Instructions on how to run CNN training:

python train.py -config config2.json -o output-directory-path

In the configuration file (config2.json) db_path should be replaced by the path to the BRATS database
BRATS database structure:

• Brats17TestingData
• Brats17TrainingData
  • HGG
  • LGG
• Brats17ValidationData

output-directory-path - directory path where the meta data, model and segmentation results will be placed
