3D view of loaded RT Structure Sets in Slicer4
Dose Volume Histogram module
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 changes into the CTK trunk
- Integrate CTK and Slicer core fixes
- Add extension s4ext files to core, make sure all tests pass
Progress
Detailed plan
- Define operating mechanism for module updates (who builds the extensions? how to ensure extension compatibility? how to download a set of extensions all at once?)
- Make extensions compliant: http://wiki.slicer.org/slicerWiki/index.php/Documentation/4.1/SlicerApplication/ExtensionCatalogPolicies
- Remove obsolete SlicerRT branch from Slicer SVN
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
