Advanced Normalization Tools (ANTs)
最后发布版本: v2.5.3 ( 2024-07-24 22:57:18)
Advanced Normalization Tools (ANTs) is a C++ library available through the command line that computes high-dimensional mappings to capture the statistics of brain structure and function. It allows one to organize, visualize and statistically explore large biomedical image sets. Additionally, it integrates imaging modalities in space + time and works across species or organ systems with minimal customization.
The ANTs library is considered a state-of-the-art medical image registration and segmentation toolkit which depends on the Insight ToolKit, a widely used medical image processing library to which ANTs developers contribute. ANTs-related tools have also won several international, unbiased competitions such as MICCAI, BRATS, and STACOM.
It is possible to use ANTs in R (ANTsR) and Python (ANTsPy), with additional functionality for deep learning in R (ANTsRNet) and Python (ANTsPyNet). These libraries help integrate ANTs with the broader R / Python ecosystem.
Installation
Quick links: download binaries | build from source | docker | conda.
Pre-compiled binaries
The easiest way to install ANTs is by downloading the latest binaries on the Releases page. Download the latest release under the "Assets" section, then unzip the archive. Next, add the ANTs library to your PATH:
export PATH=/path/to/ants/bin:$PATH
You can check that this worked by running a command to find the path to any ANTs function:
which antsRegistration
If that works, you should be able to use the full functionality of ANTs from the command line or bash. You may wish to control multi-threading by setting the environment variable ITK_GLOBAL_DEFAULT_NUMBER_OF_THREADS
.
Building from source
When necessary, you can also build ANTs from the latest source code. A minimal example on Linux / Mac looks like this:
workingDir=${PWD}
git clone https://github.com/ANTsX/ANTs.git
mkdir build install
cd build
cmake \
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=${workingDir}/install \
../ANTs 2>&1 | tee cmake.log
make -j 4 2>&1 | tee build.log
cd ANTS-build
make install 2>&1 | tee install.log
More details and a full downloadable installation script can be found in the Linux/MacOS Guide. Building from source will generally work on Windows as well with some additional steps explained in the Windows Guide. Alternatively, it is also possible to install ANTs via Docker or Conda.
Code examples
ANTs is a flexible library that can be used for a variety of applications and areas. Below is a collection of example scripts that - with a little effort - can be adapted to fit your specific needs. Some examples also include code for ANTsR or ANTsPy.
