Primerpickr is an open-source tool for rt-PCr primer picking powered by the aggregation of public usage of rt-pcr primers from open source papers. The database is validated with 154 genes and contains over 31,000 genes across 10 species.

A machine learning-based tool to estimate the overall survival probability in patients with neuroblastoma, supporting clinical decision-making and prognosis.

A machine learning model that predicts overall survival in patients with glioblastoma, using radiomic and clinical features.

Performs volumetric analysis of brain structures by segmenting and calculating the volume of grey matter, white matter, and CSF. Results support studies on neurodegeneration, development, or disease progression.

Extracts deep features from MR images using pretrained neural networks. These features can be used for classification, clustering, or survival prediction tasks in medical imaging.

Computes R1 and T1 maps from MR images, showing the rate and time of longitudinal relaxation. These are key quantitative biomarkers for tissue characterization.

Extracts diffusion-related maps (e.g., ADC, IVIM, Kurtosis) from DWI sequences to evaluate microstructural properties of tissues, commonly used in oncology and neurology.

Tool for calculating R2 maps from T2*-weighted images. These maps reflect tissue relaxation rates and can be used to assess tissue properties and detect abnormalities.

Implemented by GIBI230, this tool is a Docker-based software designed for extracting radiomic features from 3D medical images in NIfTI format using the PyRadiomics library (if DICOM images, the DICOM to NIFTI converter must be run before using this tool). It streamlines the radiomics calculation process by generating a structured CSV file containing all extracted variables from medical images. The dockerized software enables users to configure parameters like filters, bin width, resampling spacing, and normalization settings can be specified. The output radiomic variables provide quantitative information for further analysis in medical imaging research and machine learning applications. Specially important the parameter selection of the band width. For robust and reproducible results, a bin width of 5 is commonly recommended, but it should be adjusted based on image resolution, modality, and noise levels.

This tool extracts perfusion maps from dynamic imaging data (e.g., DCE-MRI) using pharmacokinetic models or semi-quantitative methods. It supports the evaluation of blood flow and tissue vascularity.

The tool is designed to perform radiomics harmonization on large and heterogeneous datasets, where the risk of over-harmonization is present. Instead of directly applying harmonization based on predefined batch labels, the tool first identifies groups of batches that share similar characteristics through clustering of the radiomics data. It then performs harmonization using these cluster-derived labels. The tool allows the harmonization of radiomics variables using two methods: (1) original ComBat (Rabinovic, 2007) method, where each original batch group is considered for the harmonization process and (2) cluster-based ComBat method, where batch groups with similar radiomics characteristics form clusters and the latter are being considered for the harmonization process.

This preprocessing tool is design for 2D digital mammograms in DICOM format. It standardizes and harmonizes images through a configurable pipeline that includes spatial reorientation, pseudo-3D stacking, isotropic resampling, intensity normalization, optional denoising, contrast enhancement, and mask processing (if available).

The tool performs by deep learning an automatic segmentation of the possible neuroblastoma tumours on Contrast Enhanced CT images (CE-CTs). Model architecture is Unet-based with residual operations, atrous dilation convolution and specific batch generator. It applies preprocessing steps as RAS conversion, resizing, z-score normalization, patching; and postprocessing operations. It takes DICOM images as input and generates tumoral masks in DICOM SEG or NIFTI formats.

The tool performs an automatic segmentation of the possible glioblastoma tumours on MRI images and its subregions: necrosis (Intratumoral necrotic core), edema (Peritumoral vasogenic edema), enhancing (Contrast-enhancing tumor region), total (Total tumor including edema and necrosis by a single model) and total-fused (Total tumor fusioning of necrosis+edema+enhancing). It applies preprocessing steps as skull stripping, intra-patient registration, z-score normalization, patching, among others. It takes DICOM images as input and generates tumoral masks in DICOM SEG or NIFTI formats.

The tool performs an automatic segmentation of the possible DIPG tumours on MR images. DIPG (Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma), or more recently, DMG (Diffuse Midline Glioma) is a H3 K27M–mutant pediatric brainstem cancer detected in T1W and Flair/T2-weighted magnetic resonance images. The tool includes a complete workflow from DICOM images to DICOM seg tumoral masks.

This tool is specifically designed and validated for automated detection and segmentation of neuroblastic tumours in T2-weighted magnetic resonance images (T2-MR) using deep learning. It processes DICOM or NIfTI input data and outputs in NIFTI or DICOM SEG.

The tool is designed to perform a customisable image pre-processing to reduce noise and inhomogeneity field effect, thus improving image quality and reproducibility of radiomics features. This tool consists of two independent steps: one for denoising using one of the 5 integrated filters (Bilateral Filter, Anisotropic Diffusion Filter (ADF), Curvature Flow Filter (CFF), SUSAN and Non Local Means (NLM)), and another for the ANTs N4 and another for the ANT's N4 bias correction filter. The parameter configuration of this tool has been optimised for TW1, T2W, DWI and DCE sequences in neuroblastoma (NB) and paediatric brain tumours, but it can also be configured with some of their parameters using a JSON parameter configuration file.

A tool based on artificial intelligence that is able to perform a categorisation of MRI series by using standardized DICOM tags. The categorisation includes the type of sequence (e.g. spin echo, gradient echo), the weighting (e.g. T1W, T2W, DCE, ...), the presence of fat suppression and the detection of non-relevant / junk series (e.g. localizers, calibrations, screenshots...).

Tool that aims to validate visually the chronological order and logical consistency of dates associated with a patient's medical history. It generates a timeline visualization for each patient from an Excel file and highlights rule violations. Status : Containerized

The tool performs a DICOM quality check in terms of correct number of files per sequence, corrupted files, precise directory hierarchy, separated dynamic series merging them, interest series filtering/selection by specific series description lists and diffusion sequence identification by b-values. It applies the desired changes to the dataset and generates a report containing information about the selected sequences, corrupted files, missing files and merged files. Status: Deployed
