Extension Description

SlicerRT is one of the themes of the SparKit (Software Platform and Adaptive Radiotherapy Kit) project with the goal of making 3D Slicer a powerful radiotherapy research platform. SparKit is a project funded by Cancer Care Ontarioand the Ontario Consortium for Adaptive Interventions in Radiation Oncology (OCAIRO) to provide free, open-source toolset for radiotherapy and related image-guided interventions.

Modules

• DICOM-RT import
• Contours
• Dose volume histogram
• Dose accumulation

Use Cases

• Comparison of dose maps and dose volume histograms from various treatment planning systems
• Evaluation the effect of image-based non-rigid patient motion compensation
• Dose accumulation with motion compensation
