TRiP98 RBE command
rbe items / prefix() list sumdose(0) debug
import() delete weightlist()
export() display partialdose()
read inspect
write
alias()
Purpose
Handles input, output and interpolation of
RBE tables.
The tables are identified by their tissue type.
Parameters
- items
-
For the input options
(read and import)
specifies a list of files, optionally wildcarded, to be read as
RBE tables.
For the output options (
write
export()
list
inspect
delete)
specifies the cell (tissue) type. A "*" means all types, a list of
types has to be put in double quotes
(See also remark).
Usually RBE tables have the extension .rbe
- prefix()
-
Specifies a file name prefix which
is put in front of automatically generated file names
- import()
-
Not yet implemented.
- export(fmt)
-
Exports current RBE table in some non-native format,
at present
gd
is implemented to export for the
gd
plot program.
Naming convention is:
<celltype>.rbe.gd
- read
-
Read RBE table specified by items.
When duplicate tissues occur, older entries are replaced by newer ones.
- write
-
Writes the current RBE table
as specified by items.
Naming convention is:
<celltype>.rbe
- list
-
Lists loaded RBE tables specified by items.
- delete
-
Deletes loaded RBE tables specified by items.
- display
-
Displays loaded RBE tables specified by items. Not yet implemented.
- inspect
-
Show some internal info about loaded RBE tables specified by items.
- sumdose(sdose)
-
- weightlist(wlist)
-
- partialdose(pdose)
-
These parameters are useful to determine the nonlinear superposition
of the biological dose of two opposing fields.
When <sdose> > 0
and
<wlist>
is a list of n-1
normalized partial dose weights,
the partial doses for n
single fields are calculated which
yield the specified sum dose.
Inversely,
when <sdose> > 0
and
<pdose>
is a list of n-1
partial dose values,
the normalized partial weights for n
single fields are calculated which yield the specified
sum dose.
Note that in this version the weight list
are plain values rather than ratios.
- alias()
-
Define an alias name for an RBE table.
- debug
-
Debug switch. Lots of output!
If tissue / organ names are copied from VOI specifications,
they may contain blanks.
To protect spaces from being interpreted as list separators, the tissue names have to be quoted:
rbe "'auge li'" / ...
Examples
-
rbe $TRIP98/DATA/*.rbe /read
Reads all files in the directory "$TRIP98/DATA/" with the extension
".rbe" and interprete them as RBE tables.
-
rbe chordom02.rbe /read
rbe chordom02 / sumdose(3) weight(0.5)
Calculates the partial doses for two opposing fields with 50% weight each for a chordoma
which is to be treated with 3 GyE total dose.
-
rbe fishbone / alias(fonebone)
Defines a dummy RBE table for tissue fishbone
which points to a "real" table fonebone
(which must exist).
