Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

0. Verification test

As an initial test to verify that Raidionics works properly on your computer, and before trying using your own data, the following should be performed.

Download the provided test data, available through the Raidionics GUI under File > Download test data, and extract the content.
Load the two MR scans (one contrast-enhanced T1-weighted and one FLAIR) inside Raidionics and run the preoperative segmentation task, selecting "Contrast-enhancing" as tumor type. A tutorial video for this use-case can viewed on Youtube.
Inspect the obtained segmentation masks if the processing succeeded. Otherwise please refer to the below list or visit the issues to find potential solutions.

The information available in the Logs window might provide an explanation to an unsuccessful segmentation attempt, which can be found in the top menu-bar, under Settings > Logs (alternatively using the CTRL + L shortcut).
A purge of the models can be attempted to trigger a re-download. Simply open the Settings panel (CTRL + P shortcut), in System settings click the Models purge option (with a trash bin icon).
⚠️ By default, the acquisition sequence for each MR scan is automatically identified using a classification model. In case of incorrect classification, make sure the proper MRI sequence type is filled in correctly for each MRI series in the right-hand panel. In addition, the setting for using manually-defined sequences should be enabled (top menu-bar, under Settings > Preferences > Inputs/Outputs > Use manual MRI sequences).

❌ If the models are not being automatically downloaded when running Raidionics (e.g., internet/firewall issues), the segmentation and reporting tasks will not succeed.
💡 All the models used by Raidionics can be manually downloaded at the following Raidionics-models repo. After downloading each model archive, you simply need to extract the content and place the obtained folder inside ~/.raidionics/resources/models/.
❗ Most tasks do require running multiple models, some as pre-processing steps. You can have a deeper look in the code where the executed pipelines are created, to download by hand the necessary models marked as download_model(model_name='MRI_Name')

If you are running Raidionics on macOS, make sure you have installed the proper version of the software. The installer with a name trailing macOS.pkg will run on mac computers with Intel processors, while the installer with a name trailing macOS-14-15_arm64.pkg is meant to be used on mac computers with an ARM processor (M1/M2/M3 series). ⚠️ There is a specific installer (name trailing macOS-13_arm64.pkg) for the first generation of macOS with M1 chip (running macos-13).
