convertDVHsmooth: Convert between differential and cumulative DVH

Description

Convert between differential and cumulative DVH as well as between dose units, using smoothng of the differential DVH.

Usage

convertDVHsmooth(x,
                 toType=c("asis", "cumulative", "differential"),
                 toDoseUnit=c("asis", "GY", "CGY"),
                 interp=c("asis", "linear", "spline", "ksmooth", "smoothSpl"),
                 nodes=NULL, rangeD=NULL, perDose=TRUE)

                 interp=c("asis", "linear", "spline", "ksmooth", "smoothSpl"),

                 interp=c("asis", "linear", "spline", "ksmooth", "smoothSpl"),
                 nodes=NULL, rangeD=NULL, perDose=TRUE)

## S3 method for class 'DVHLst':

                 interp=c("asis", "linear", "spline", "ksmooth", "smoothSpl"),
                 nodes=NULL, rangeD=NULL, perDose=TRUE)

## S3 method for class 'DVHLstLst':
convertDVHsmooth(x,
                 toType=c("asis", "cumulative", "differential"),
                 toDoseUnit=c("asis", "GY", "CGY"),

Arguments

x

One DVH (object of class matrix or DVHs, multiple cumulative DVHs from one patient with multiple structures (object of class DVHLst), or multiple cumulative DVHs from many patients, each with multiple structures (obj

toType

character. Convert the DVH to this type. "asis" keeps the current DVH type.

toDoseUnit

character. Convert the DVH to this dose unit. "asis" keeps the current dose unit.

interp

character. Interpolation method for the differential DVH. "asis" and "linear" for no interpolation. "spline" for spline interpolation using splinefun

nodes

numeric. Minimum number of nodes to use in interpolation for method "ksmooth". Number of available nodes is kept as is for NULL or if larger than nodes.

rangeD

numeric. Dose range for interpolation methods "linear", "spline", "smoothSpl". If NULL it is determined individally for each DVH.

perDose

logical. Are the differential DVH volume values per unit dose?

Value

• Depending on the input, an object of class matrix, DVHs, DVHLst, or DVHLstLst.
