Hello everyone !

I’m trying to use pyRadiomics to extract features on a brain tumor from DICOM images in Python.  
pyRadiomics doesn’t accept dicom as an input.

I’m using SimpleITK to read the dcm images but I can’t do the features extraction when I use the “execute” function from featureextractor, because I need the maskFilePath(label map)

Does someone succeed to extract the features from dicom images using pyRadiomics ?

Thanks a lot in advance !  
Camelia

Hi @camelia -

Once you have the dicom data loaded in Slicer or in SimpleITK you can save to any itk-compatible format and load in PyRadiomics.

PyRadiomics specific questions can go to the google group:
