Purpose

Parameters

file

Not yet implemented.

read

Not yet implemented.

write

Not yet implemented.

delete

Deletes the current plan, that is, deletes CT, VOIs, all fields, all result dose cubes.

dose(dose)

Prescribed dose (Gy) for the target volume.

targettissue(ttissue)

Specifies type of tissue for the target. Needed for biological dose computation. To be useful an appropriate RBE table for that tissue type must be loaded.

residualtissue(rtissue)

Specifies type of tissue for all parts of the CT which are not target volume and do not belong to any other VOI. Needed for biological dose computation. To be useful an appropriate RBE table for that tissue type must be loaded.

partialbiodose

incube(cube)

Specifies a normalized dose cube with a prescribed input dose distribution (weight distribution), for subsequent dose optimization.
If partialbiodose is specified, the input cube is interpreted as a biological dose distribution rather than a weight distribution.

outcube(cubelist)

Specifies a list of normalized output dose cubes.
If only one cube is specified this will receive the complement of the input cube
If two cubes are specified the first one will receive a copy of the input cube and the second one its complement.
If a target tissue is specified, the output dose cubes will be weighted according to the nonlinear addition of RBE. They may be used for subsequent single field optimization of biological dose.

debug

Debug switch. Lots of output !
