Module Description

The DoseComparison module computes the difference between two co-registered dose volumes using the gamma dose distribution comparison method. This module uses the gamma Plastimatch algorithm internally.

Use Cases

Comparing dose distributions

Dose Comparison module UI
Example of the result gamma volume

Tutorials

See SlicerRT main page

Panels and their use

  • Current contour(s): Currently selected contour node (vtkMRMLContourNode) or conotur hierarchy node (vtkMRMLContourHierarchyNode)
  • Active representation: The active representation (Ribbon model / Indexed labelmap / Closed surface model) of the selected contour. If a hierarchy is selected in which the active representations of the contained contours do not match, Various is indicated
  • Change active representation: This box contains controls to convert from one representation to another
