Distance to agreement calculations for radiotherapy dose distributions

RESEARCH USE ONLY

Currently an n-dimensional version of gamma evaluation is the only algorithm implemented. The resolution in the sample and reference cannot be different, however each axis of sample and reference respectively can have a different resolution.

from dta import gamma_evaluation

distance = 3                        # 3 mm
threshold = reference.max()*0.03    # 3 % of max in reference
sample_res, reference_res = (2, 2)  # 2 mm voxels in sample, 2 mm in ref

gamma_map = gamma_evaluation(sample, reference,
                             distance, threshold,
                             (sample_res, reference_res))

Installation

git clone https://github.com/christopherpoole/pygamma.git
# OR download the repository as a zip file
cd pygamma
python setup.py install

Signed Gamma Evaluation

Signed gamma evaluation makes hot and cold spots obvious in the calculated gamma map, to use it:

gamma_evaluation(sample, reference, distance, threshold, (sam_res, ref_res), signed=True)
