## Setup MIC LIDC Data preprocessing
0. Follow https://github.com/MIC-DKFZ/LIDC-IDRI-processing to convert the LIDC data into a simpler format. 
1. Follow the installation instructions of nnDetection and create a data directory name `Task012_LIDC`.
2. Place the `data_nrrd` folder and `characteristics.csv` into `Task012_LIDC / raw`
3. Run `python prepare_mic.py` in `projects / Task012_LIDC / scripts` of the nnDetection repository.

The data is now converted to the correct format and the instructions from the nnDetection README can be used to train the networks.

## Setup PyLIDC
