conehead
A collapsed-cone convolution radiotherapy dose calculation algorithm written in Python/Cython.
This project is currently in early experimental development. Expect the code to change dramatically over the coming months.
Inspiration has been drawn from Cho et al (2012) and Yang et al (2002).
Early development milestones:
Linac geometryWater phantomPoint sourceAnnular primary collimator sourceExponential filter scatter sourceVoxel blocking (Jaws, MLC)Fluence calculationTERMA calculationKernel calculated (EDKnrc)Kernel convolution- Kernel tilting
Horn tuning factorSquare fields- Parse DICOM RT plan files (
3DCRT, IMRT/VMAT) - Import CT images
- Support density overrides
- Option to optimise for out-of-field dosimetry
