This tool can be used to create a docker image to run code related to lung nodule detection in CT scans. This code was last updated some years ago, and therefore, will not run if the latest dependencies are installed. This file includes the required dependencies and allow us to run the lung nodule detection code by using the Docker image. That way, this image can be used as an input in a secure platform, when data access should be secure.

Write documentation for the following code

This is a Dockerfile used to create a Docker image. The Docker image is based on the nvidia/cuda:11.2.2-base-ubuntu18.04 image, with the maintainer labeled as "nsourlos". The WORKdir is set to /home/files/.

The file requirements.txt) is copied into the current directory with the COPY command. The Dockerfile then runs a series of commands to install necessary packages and libraries for the image.

The first two RUN commands install python3-pip and upgrade the pip3 package. The following RUN commands then install necessary dependencies and libraries, such as libsm6, libxext6, ffmpeg, and libxrender-dev.

The pip3 command is used to install the efficientnet library, with version 0.0.4, and to install the dependencies listed in the requirements.txt file. The h5py package is then uninstalled and reinstalled with a specific version to avoid errors related to tensorflow.

The rest of the files are copied into the image with the COPY command, and the efficientnet folder is replaced with a modified version. The Docker image can then be built and run with the modified packages and libraries installed.
