🚀 Quick Start

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ (3.12 recommended) or Docker
A free Google AI Studio API key

Option 1 — Local (Python)

git clone https://github.com/HadirouTamdamba/AI-Diagnostic-Imaging-Agent.git
cd AI-Diagnostic-Imaging-Agent

python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate        # Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

cp .env.example .env             # then set GOOGLE_API_KEY in .env (optional)
streamlit run src/app.py

Open http://localhost:8501. If GOOGLE_API_KEY is not set in .env, enter it in the sidebar.

Option 2 — Run the published image (fastest, nothing to build)

The container image is published publicly to GitHub Container Registry — no login required. It is multi-architecture (linux/amd64 + linux/arm64), so it runs natively on Intel/AMD machines and on Apple Silicon. Start it, then paste your API key in the sidebar:

docker run -p 8501:8501 ghcr.io/hadiroutamdamba/ai-diagnostic-imaging-agent:latest

Open http://localhost:8501. To pass the key up front instead, keep it on one line and put no space after = (quotes recommended):

docker run -p 8501:8501 -e GOOGLE_API_KEY="your_key" ghcr.io/hadiroutamdamba/ai-diagnostic-imaging-agent:latest

Passing the key on the command line stores it in your shell history. Prefer entering it in the sidebar, or use --env-file .env.

Images are built and published automatically by the release workflow on every version tag.

Option 3 — Build locally with Docker Compose

cp .env.example .env             # set GOOGLE_API_KEY in .env
docker compose up --build -d

The app is available at http://localhost:8501. See DEPLOYMENT.md for Streamlit Community Cloud and production deployment details.

☁️ AWS deployment (Infrastructure-as-Code)

deploy/terraform/ — Terraform module describing the full AWS stack (ECS Fargate + Application Load Balancer + Secrets Manager + IAM + CloudWatch). Reviewable as code; $0 until terraform apply — a zero-cost way to demonstrate the cloud architecture.
deploy/DEPLOY_AWS.md — one-command managed deploy via Amazon ECS Express Mode (AWS’s App Runner replacement) plus a GitHub Actions CI/CD workflow.

Usage

Enter your Google API key (sidebar) if not pre-configured
Upload a medical image (JPG/PNG, max 5 MB)
Click Analyze Image and wait 30–120 s
Review the structured report and download it as Markdown

Configuration (environment variables)

All variables are optional and can be set in .env (see .env.example):

Variable	Default	Description
`GOOGLE_API_KEY`	—	Google AI Studio key (otherwise entered in the sidebar)
`MODEL_ID`	`gemini-flash-latest`	Gemini model used for analysis
`FALLBACK_MODEL_ID`	`gemini-3-flash-preview`	Model used automatically when the primary is overloaded (503) or out of quota (429)
`ENABLE_WEB_SEARCH`	`true`	Live web search for references; set `false` to use 1 request/analysis (saves quota)
`DEFAULT_LANGUAGE`	`en`	Default UI & report language (`en`/`fr`), switchable in the UI
`MAX_IMAGE_SIZE`	`5242880`	Max upload size in bytes (5 MB)
`MAX_ANALYSIS_TIME`	`120`	Analysis timeout displayed to users (s)
`LOG_LEVEL`	`INFO`	Application log verbosity

Run tests & quality checks

pip install -r requirements-dev.txt
pytest tests/ -v --cov=src          # unit tests + coverage
ruff check src/ tests/              # lint

# Optional: enable git hooks (lint + hygiene on every commit)
pip install pre-commit && pre-commit install

CI (GitHub Actions) runs lint, tests, a dependency security audit (pip-audit) and a Docker build + healthcheck smoke test on every push. Tagging a release (git tag v1.1.0 && git push --tags) automatically publishes the Docker image to GitHub Container Registry.

☁️ Cloud & MLOps / LLMOps Engineering

Beyond the model itself, this project applies production engineering practices across the full lifecycle — design, development, testing, deployment, and operation.

Infrastructure as Code (AWS)

Terraform module (deploy/terraform/) provisioning the full stack — ECR, ECS Fargate (serverless containers), Application Load Balancer with health checks, Secrets Manager, least-privilege IAM, CloudWatch Logs, and security groups. terraform validate-clean; $0 until terraform apply.
Amazon ECS Express Mode deploy script (deploy/DEPLOY_AWS.md) as the App Runner replacement for a one-command managed deployment.

CI/CD & DevOps

GitHub Actions: lint + tests + coverage, pip-audit dependency scan, Docker build & container smoke test on every push; release pipeline publishing to GHCR on tags; an ECS deploy workflow using GitHub OIDC (no long-lived AWS keys).
Dependabot (pip, GitHub Actions, Docker) with grouped updates; pre-commit hooks.
Docker: multi-stage build, non-root user, healthcheck, pinned dependencies.

LLMOps (operating the Gemini agent)

Resilience: exponential-backoff retries on transient errors, with per-day quota errors failing fast instead of looping.
Observability: token-usage telemetry, structured logging, actionable error messages mapped from provider status codes.
Cost/quota control: web-search toggle to trade richer reports for fewer API calls; agent caching to avoid re-initialisation; configurable model via MODEL_ID.
Config & secrets: 12-factor environment configuration (Pydantic Settings), secrets kept out of the image and injected at runtime.

Quality & Security

Testing: unit-tested core (agent retry/translation, validators, i18n, settings) with the LLM mocked — deterministic, no API calls in CI.
Security: input/format validation, dependency auditing, SECURITY.md policy, privacy-first handling (no medical data persistence).
