BrainChop is a lightweight tool for brain segmentation that runs on pretty much everything.

You can install BrainChop using pip:

pip install brainchop

To use BrainChop, run the following command:

brainchop input.nii.gz -o output.nii.gz

Where:

• input.nii.gz is your input NIfTI file
• output.nii.gz is the desired output file name

Get the tinygrad repo to be able to use export_model (export_model is not yet in core tinygrad. The fork fetched also has f16 support)

./setup_tinygrad.sh

Use EXPORT=1 WEBGPU=1 to export the model, and pass in the model, which you want to select (tissue_fast in this example):

EXPORT=1 WEBGPU=1 PYTHONPATH=".:./tinygrad" python3 brainchop/main.py -m tissue_fast '/path/to/volume.nii'

The output of the export step will be a net.js file with the WebGPU kernels, and wrapper code to run the model, and a net.safetensors file which stores the weights and biases in safetensors format.

To use the exported model:

import tissue_fast from './net_tissue_fast.js'

const getDevice = async () => {
     if (!navigator.gpu) return false;
     const requiredLimits = {};
     /*
     Your console will report if this value is enough or not,
     you can request a larger value if needed, but you can't exceed 
     the maximum buffer size supported by your browsers.
     */
     const maxBufferSize = 2013265920;
     requiredLimits.maxStorageBufferBindingSize = maxBufferSize;
     requiredLimits.maxBufferSize = maxBufferSize;
     const adapter = await navigator.gpu.requestAdapter();
    return await adapter.requestDevice({
        requiredLimits: requiredLimits,
        requiredFeatures: ["shader-f16"]
    });
};
const device = await getDevice();
const tissuefastSession = await tissue_fast.load(device, "./net_tissue_fast.safetensors");
const results = await tissuefastSession(img32);
