{{documentation/{{documentation/version}}/module-section|Module Description}}
The {{documentation/modulename}} module is a generic, extensible module for forward planning of external beam radiation therapy treatments.


{{documentation/{{documentation/version}}/module-section|Use Cases}}
* Proton dose calculation
* Any dose engine can be integrated (C++, Python, Matlab)

* External Beam Planning module
** Basic plan data: Reference volume, Structure set, Isocenter, Target volume, Dose engine, Prescription dose
** Beam list
* Beams module: edit parameters of individual beams
** Geometry
