Dosimetry

Background:

Three-dimensional (3D) dosimetry is increasingly vital in clinical applications.
Availability of gel and radiochromic plastic dosimeters is growing.
Accessible analysis tools for 3D dosimetry have lagged behind, hindering adoption.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a streamlined, open-source system for rapid and accurate 3D dosimetry data analysis.
To reduce the time and effort required for 3D dosimetry analysis.
To facilitate the adoption of 3D dosimetry in clinical environments.

Main Methods:

Developed a custom extension for 3D Slicer, named the Gel Dosimetry Analysis slicelet.
Presented the workflow of a typical gel dosimetry experiment.
Validated each software component through experimental testing.

Main Results:

The Gel Dosimetry Analysis slicelet enables rapid and accurate 3D dosimetry data analysis.
Full 3D gel dosimeter analysis is approximately 20 times faster compared to previous methods.
The software addresses the time-consuming and laborious nature of 3D dosimetry analysis.

Conclusions:

The developed open-source software significantly enhances the efficiency of 3D dosimetry analysis.
This tool lowers the barrier to entry for clinical adoption of 3D dosimetry.
Streamlined analysis promotes wider use of advanced dosimetry techniques in radiation therapy.
