This is an open-source python package for the extraction of Radiomics features from medical imaging.
With this package we aim to establish a reference standard for Radiomic Analysis, and provide a tested and maintained open-source platform for easy and reproducible Radiomic Feature extraction. By doing so, we hope to increase awareness of radiomic capabilities and expand the community.
The platform supports both the feature extraction in 2D and 3D and can be used to calculate single values per feature for a region of interest ("segment-based") or to generate feature maps ("voxel-based").
Not intended for clinical use.
If you publish any work which uses this package, please cite the following publication: van Griethuysen, J. J. M., Fedorov, A., Parmar, C., Hosny, A., Aucoin, N., Narayan, V., Beets-Tan, R. G.

Please join the Radiomics community section of the 3D Slicer Discourse.
Currently supports the following feature classes:
- First Order Statistics
- Shape-based (2D and 3D)
- Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM)
- Gray Level Run Length Matrix (GLRLM)
- Gray Level Size Zone Matrix (GLSZM)
- Gray Level Dependece Matrix (GLDM)
- Neighboring Gray Tone Difference Matrix (NGTDM)
Aside from the feature classes, there are also some built-in optional filters:
- Laplacian of Gaussian (LoG, based on SimpleITK functionality)
- Wavelet (using the PyWavelets package)
- Square
- Square Root
- Logarithm
- Exponential
- Gradient (Magnitude)
- Local Binary Pattern (LBP) 2D / 3D
Aside from calculating features, the pyradiomics package includes provenance information in the output. This information contains information on used image and mask, as well as applied settings and filters, thereby enabling fully reproducible feature extraction.
For more information, see the sphinx generated documentation available here.
Alternatively, you can generate the documentation by checking out the master branch and running from the root directory:
python setup.py build_sphinx
The documentation can then be viewed in a browser by opening PACKAGE_ROOT\build\sphinx\html\index.html.
Furthermore, an instruction video is available here.
PyRadiomics is OS independent and compatible with Python >= 3.5. Pre-built binaries are available on PyPi and Conda. To install PyRadiomics, ensure you have python installed and run:
`python -m pip install pyradiomics`
Detailed installation instructions, as well as instructions for building PyRadiomics from source, are available in the documentation.
PyRadiomics also supports Dockers. Currently, 2 dockers are available:
The first one is a Jupyter notebook with PyRadiomics pre-installed with example Notebooks.
To get the Docker:
docker pull radiomics/pyradiomics:latest
The radiomics/notebook Docker has an exposed volume (/data) that can be mapped to the host system directory. For example, to mount the current directory:
docker run --rm -it --publish 8888:8888 -v `pwd`:/data radiomics/notebook
or for a less secure notebook, skip the randomly generated token
docker run --rm -it --publish 8888:8888 -v `pwd`:/data radiomics/notebook start-notebook.sh --NotebookApp.token=''
and open the local webpage at http://localhost:8888/ with the current directory at http://localhost:8888/tree/data.
The second is a docker which exposes the PyRadiomics CLI interface. To get the CLI-Docker:
docker pull radiomics/pyradiomics:CLI
You can then use the PyRadiomics CLI as follows:
docker run radiomics/pyradiomics:CLI --help
For more information on using docker, see here
PyRadiomics can be easily used in a Python script through the featureextractor
module. Furthermore, PyRadiomics provides a commandline script, pyradiomics, for both single image extraction and
batchprocessing. Finally, a convenient front-end interface is provided as the 'Radiomics'
extension for 3D Slicer, available here.
- SimpleITK (Image loading and preprocessing)
- numpy (Feature calculation)
- PyWavelets (Wavelet filter)
- pykwalify (Enabling yaml parameters file checking)
- six (Python 3 Compatibility)
- scipy (Only for LBP filter, install separately to enable this filter)
- scikit-image (Only for LBP filter, install separately to enable this filter)
- trimesh (Only for LBP filter, install separately to enable this filter)
See also the requirements file.
PyRadiomics is also available as an extension to 3D Slicer. Download and install the 3D slicer nightly build, the extension is then available in the extension manager under "SlicerRadiomics".
