Project Title: Visualizing Prostate and Gynecological Brachytherapy Images, Plans, and Dose in Slicer

Key Investigators

  • BWH: Tina Kapur, Jan Egger, Firdaus Janoos, Andrey Fedorov
  • MGH: Greg Sharp


Objective

To load and visualize planning contours and planned dose distributions generated by Nucletron Oncentra Planning System in Slicer.

Approach, Plan

We plan to port existing Matlab and C++ codes into Slicer for reading the files generated by the Nucleotron Oncentra Planning System. In addition, we will have to implement new functionality from the Nucleotron specifications. We expect that we will be able to visualize the contours using the Plastimatch Extension Module.

Progress

Implemented functionality to read US data exported by Nucleotron system (.l3d). Can read contour information from .ldd files - working on contour interpolation/smoothing, converting contours to label maps and visualization of contours. Planned: Integration into Plastimatch.
