Similar Extensions
- Plastimatch: SlicerRT and Plastimatch are complementary software libraries. Plastimatch focuses on delivering new computational methods radiotherapy, while SlicerRT aims for providing an easy-to-use interface for a wide range of stable, well-tested radiotherapy related features. SlicerRT uses Plastimatch internally for certain operations.
- Gel Dosimetry: Slicelet facilitating a streamlined workflow to perform true 3D gel dosimetry analysis for commissioning linacs and evaluating new dose calculation procedures
- Film Dosimetry: Slicelet supporting workflow to perform 2D film dosimetry analysis for commissioning new radiation techniques and to validate the accuracy of radiation treatment by enabling visual comparison of the planned dose to the delivered dose
