TRiP98 DVH command
dvh file / import() list calculate debug
export() biological svv
rbe alpha beta
effdose specdose meanlet dosemeanlet
read display
write inspect
Purpose
Handles computation and export of dose-volume histograms.
Parameters
- file
-
File name prefix for export.
- import()
-
Not yet implemented.
- export(fmt)
-
Exports current DVH's.
At present only
gd
is foreseen, to be plotted with the
gd
program.
Naming convention:
<file>dvh.gd
,
- read
-
Not yet implemented.
- write
-
Not yet implemented.
- list
-
Not yet implemented.
- display
-
Not yet implemented.
- inspect
-
Not yet implemented.
- calculate
-
Triggers DVH calculation, by default with respect to the absorbed dose.
If biological is specified, the biological dose
distribution
is selected. Note that
valid VOIs must exist.
- biological
-
Selects biological dose distribution.
- svv
-
Selects survival distribution.
- rbe
-
Selects RBE distribution.
- alpha
-
Selects alpha distribution.
- beta
-
Selects beta distribution.
- specdose
-
Selects absorbed dose distribution obtained from
sampling of particle spectra.
- meanlet
-
Selects mean LET distribution.
- dosemeanlet
-
Selects dose-mean LET distribution.
- effdose
-
Selects dose distribution created by the superposition of
preirradiation and actual optimization.
- debug
-
Debug switch. Lots of output!
Remark
Output in gd
format contains
comment lines with additional "figures of merit":
- minimum, maximum and mean dose (as fractional values),
- standard deviation and median,
- the VOI volume in
mm**3
,
- the Inhomogeneity Coefficient:
IC = (MaxDose - MinDose ) / MinDose
(optimum IC
=0)
- the Conformity Index:
CI = Volume 95% isodose / volume VOI
(optimum CI
=1)
- the fraction of voxels with dose >30% and <90%
Examples
-
dvh xyz / calculate bio export(gd)
Calculates and exports the biological dose volume histogram
in file xyz.dvh.gd
-
dose "clp021102.svv.dos" /read svv
dvh "clp021102" / calculate svv export(gd)
Reads the specified survival distribution and exports the
associated DVH in clp021102.dvh.gd
