<h3>Objective</h3>
We are developing a tool for analyzing dose distributions. The goal is to be able to make quantitative evaluation of different dose distributions in association with RT structures of interest.

<h3>Approach, Plan</h3>

Our approach for analyzing dose distributions is to create multiple modes of dose difference quantification that complement each other. Simultaneous evaluation of isodoses, dose-difference and distance-to-agreemnet distributions will be used to determine dissimilarities of two dose images.

<h3>Progress</h3>We created Plastimatch based command line module for Slicer3 titled "Dose comparison" that allows us to create and display isodoses, image dose-difference and distance-to-agreement distributions according to user's needs. Better representation of isodose labelmap is needed to be able to create overlaping isodose surfaces.

This work will be delivered to the NA-MIC Kit as a 
Extension -- commandline
