Extension Description

SlicerRT Logo 2.0 128x128.png

  • 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.
  • The SlicerRT extension incorporates Plastimatch modules and algorithms.
  • Additional information for users can be found on the User's guide page

Modules

Use Cases

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

Tutorials

  • Summer NA-MIC week 2013 tutorial (recommended)
    • Tutorial presentation: download from Slicer wiki
    • Sample data: download from MIDAS
  • ECR 2013 - Medical University Vienna workshop
    • Workshop material: download from NA-MIC.org

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.
