Module Description

The ExternalBeamPlanning module is a generic, extensible module for forward planning of external beam radiation therapy treatments.

Use Cases

  • Proton dose calculation
  • Any dose engine can be integrated (C++, Python, Matlab)
External Beam Planning module UI with a prostate proton plan
Output dose of the plan above

Tutorials
