DVHmetrics (version 0.4.3)

Analyze Dose-Volume Histograms and Check Constraints

Description

Functionality for analyzing dose-volume histograms (DVH) in radiation oncology: Read DVH text files, calculate DVH metrics as well as generalized equivalent uniform dose (gEUD), biologically effective dose (BED), equivalent dose in 2 Gy fractions (EQD2), normal tissue complication probability (NTCP), and tumor control probability (TCP). Show DVH diagrams, check and visualize quality assurance constraints for the DVH. Includes web-based graphical user interface.
