Project Description
Objective
- The proton dose calculation module currently supports only a ray-trace algorithm
- A pencil-beam algorithm that properly models lateral scattering has been developed
Approach, Plan
- Several stages of development are needed:
- Add dose calculation algorithm selection widget to UI
- Add beam modeling options to UI
- Hook up calculation methods to new UI widgets
- Adapt the Proton Pencil Beam Algorithm to a Photon Beam Algorithm
Progress
- The Proton Beam Algorithm was adapted to photons
- The hierarchy for Proton/Photon Beam parameters/widgets in the interface was discussed
- Some parameters/widgets from the interface were hooked to the algorithms. The other ones will be hooked in the next days
