Extension Description

SlicerRT Logo 3.0 128x128.png

  • SlicerRT is a radiation therapy toolkit for 3D Slicer, containing generic RT features for import/export, analysis, visualization, aiming to make 3D Slicer a powerful radiotherapy research platform. SlicerRT development is currently funded by CANARIE.
    SlicerRT was originally created via funding by Cancer Care Ontario and the Ontario Consortium for Adaptive Interventions in Radiation Oncology (OCAIRO) to provide free, open-source toolset for radiotherapy and related image-guided interventions.
  • The SlicerRT extension incorporates Plastimatch modules and algorithms.
  • Additional information for users can be found on the User's Guide page

Modules

SlicerRT highlights


Use Cases

  • Comparison of dose maps and dose volume histograms from various treatment planning systems
  • Evaluation of the effect of different adaptive techniques (IGRT, image-based non-rigid patient motion compensation, etc.)
    • Calculate couch shift parameters for patient setup correction in IGRT
  • Dose accumulation with motion compensation
  • Testing of treatment planning algorithms
  • Calculation of PTV margin
  • Proton dose calculation
  • Gel dosimetry analysis
  • Tumor volume tracking

  • 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
