Function to extract three-dimensional structural and dosimetric data from input file(s) in DICOM-RT format
read.DICOM.RT(path, exclude=NULL, recursive=TRUE, verbose=TRUE, limit=NULL,
DVH=TRUE, zDVH=FALSE, modality="CT", ...)Returns a single structure.list object containing all structures from input DICOM-RT file(s)
Location of directory containing relevant DICOM-RT information
Character string specifying exclusion criteria used to skip processing of specific file(s) within the DICOM-RT directory.
Logical (default is TRUE) specifying whether to recursively extract nested files located within a parent directory
Logical value (default is TRUE) indicating whether or not to output verbose information and status in text
Numerical value specifying size threshold over which to skip processing of specific structures (number corresponds to the number of points used to define each structure surface)
Logical value (default is TRUE) indicating whether or not to calculate DVH data from DICOM-RT files (involves trilinear dose grid interpolation)
Logical value (default is FALSE) indicating whether or not to extract axially-segmented (zDVH) data from DICOM-RT files (this parameter is ignored unless DVH=TRUE)
Parameter used to specify the scan type expected in importing DICOM-RT data (must be one one of "CT" [default] or "MR").
