  Projects List

  3D view of loaded RT Structure Sets in Slicer4

Background

SlicerRT (https://www.assembla.com/spaces/slicerrt) is a project for making 3D Slicer a powerful common open-source platform for radiotherapy research. Several tools has been already developed, such as DICOM-RT import, Dose Volume Histogram, and Dose Accumulation. During this project week all existing functionalities will be converted to regular Slicer extensions and some new functionalities will be developed.

Key Investigators

• Queen's University: Csaba Pinter, Andras Lasso
• Toronto UHN: Kevin Wang
• MGH: Greg Sharp

Objective

• Make available all SlicerRT functionalities as regular extensions (requires DCMTK with DCMRT extension)
• Integrate gamma value computation algorithm from the Plastimatch library

Approach, Plan

• Integrate CTK and Slicer core fixes
• Add extension s4ext files to core, make sure all tests pass

Progress

Detailed plan

Delivery Mechanism

This work will be delivered to the NA-MIC Kit as a Slicer loadable module. The source code is available in the following locations:

• Slicer core changes (GIT): https://github.com/SlicerRt/Slicer.git
• CTK changes (GIT): https://github.com/SlicerRt/CTK
• RT modules (SVN): https://subversion.assembla.com/svn/slicerrt/trunk/SlicerRt/src
