Hello Scientists,
I have just imported the DICOM Folder of a patient, where it contains the DICOM images and RT structures and also doses distribution. it is a complet study exported from TPS. when i import it to the 3D Slicer, i noticed that there is an option of converting images using CTCreate, in order to be read by dosxyznrc, but i don’t know how to execute the conversion. My question is: does 3D Slicer can generate an input file and phantom file for usage in DOSXYZnrc? the attached image displays the option that i talked about !
DOSXYZnrc has been integrated into Slicer(RT) as part of a specific dose engine. The dose engines are plugins for the External Beam Planning module, and they can be executed from said module after setting up the beams.
The Orthovoltage plugin does every necessary step as part of its dose computation, and there is no GUI for doing the individual steps. The code that runs the ctcreate step in the dose engine is here:
Let me know if you have further questions.
