Software for calculating IORT treatments with a LIAC HWL linac, based on precalculated Monte Carlo dose distributions in water.

License: MIT Python Version from PEP 621 TOML Code Style: Black Documentation Status DOI

Main Features:

  • Visualize absorbed dose distributions of all combinations of applicators and energies
  • Calculate monitor units (MU) with measured output factors at zmax
  • Atmospheric pressure correction available
  • Rescaling factors can be added for desired applicator/energy combinations
  • Report generation in pdf
  • Send data as RTPlan to Record and Verify software (only tested with MOSAIQ)
  • Support for user customized data: output factors, R90 values and rescaling factors.

Limitations:

  • The software is intended for educational purposes
  • The Monte Carlo model was fitted to the data acquired at Gregorio Marañón hospital, Madrid. Different linacs may show dosimetric differences.
