This module contains classes to read, write, create, modify and access various DICOM Radiation Therapy (RT) objects. These classes are generated automatically from the official DocBook/XML version of the DICOM standard.
The main interface classes are:
To simplify working with this low-level interface, there are some hand-written classes which provide commonly needed functionality.
These classes are:
This module contains the following command line tools:
The following example shows how to load an RT Dose file and output the patient's name:
The following example shows how to load an RT Dose file and access the scaled dose image:
The following example shows how to load an RT Plan file, change the patient's name and save it to a new file:
Since most of the classes in this module are generated automatically from a machine-readable version of the DICOM standard and the RT objects are known to "re-use" the same sequence attributes with different content at various places, there still might be some issues with wrong definitions in a few sub-sequences. E.g., the Referenced Beam Sequence (300C,0004) and the Referenced SOP Sequence (0008,1199) are candidates that might not be handled 100% correctly yet.
