Dose Volume Histograms in Slicer
Objective
A dose volume histogram (DVH) is a tool used in radiation oncology to evaluate and compare treatment plans for safety and efficacy. Plastimatch currently has the capability to generate dose volume histograms, however this capability is not available in Slicer.
Approach, Plan
In order to use the plastimatch DVH, it will be necessary to store the information about the structure names (available at time of structure load) for later retrieval. We will attempt to store this information in the ITK image metadata.
Progress
Lots of success on this project!
- Created a new Slicer 4 loadable module, add to plastimatch plugin
- Create VTK chart widget with DVH data
- Chart widget can draw DVH curves
- Call plastimatch DVH compute engine from loadable module

Delivery Mechanism
This work will be delivered to the NAMIC Kit as a
- Slicer command line module
