Batch analyze DICOM-RT Plan files to calculate complexity scores

DVH Analytics (DVHA) is a software application for building a local database of radiation oncology treatment planning data. It imports data from DICOM-RT files (i.e., plan, dose, and structure), creates a SQL database, provides customizable plots, and provides tools for generating linear, multi-variable, and machine learning regressions.

DVHA-MLCA is a stand-alone command-line script to batch analyze DICOM-RT Plans using the MLC Analyzer code from DVHA.

Complexity score based on: Younge KC, Matuszak MM, Moran JM, McShan DL, Fraass BA, Roberts DA. Penalization of aperture complexity in inversely planned volumetric modulated arc therapy. Med Phys. 2012;39(11):7160–70.

Installation

To install via pip:

$ pip install dvha-mlca

If you've installed via pip or setup.py, launch from your terminal with:

$ mlca <init-scanning-directory>

If you've cloned the project, but did not run the setup.py installer, launch DVHA-MLCA with:

$ python mlca/main.py <init-scanning-directory>

Command line usage

usage: mlca [-h] [-of OUTPUT_FILE] [-xw COMPLEXITY_WEIGHT_X]
            [-yw COMPLEXITY_WEIGHT_Y] [-xs MAX_FIELD_SIZE_X]
            [-ys MAX_FIELD_SIZE_Y] [-ver] [-v] [-n PROCESSES]
            [init_dir]

Command line DVHA MLC Analyzer

positional arguments:
  init_dir              Directory containing DICOM-RT Plan files

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -of OUTPUT_FILE, --output-file OUTPUT_FILE
                        Output will be saved as
                        dvha_mlca_<version>_results_<time-stamp>.csv by
                        default.
  -xw COMPLEXITY_WEIGHT_X, --x-weight COMPLEXITY_WEIGHT_X
                        Complexity coefficient for x-dimension: default = 1.0
  -yw COMPLEXITY_WEIGHT_Y, --y-weight COMPLEXITY_WEIGHT_Y
                        Complexity coefficient for y-dimension: default = 1.0
  -xs MAX_FIELD_SIZE_X, --x-max-field-size MAX_FIELD_SIZE_X
                        Maximum field size in the x-dimension: default = 400.0
                        (mm)
  -ys MAX_FIELD_SIZE_Y, --y-max-field-size MAX_FIELD_SIZE_Y
                        Maximum field size in the y-dimension: default = 400.0
                        (mm)
  -ver, --version       Print the DVHA-MLCA version
  -v, --verbose         Print final results and plan summaries as they are
                        analyzed
  -n PROCESSES, --processes PROCESSES
                        Enable multiprocessing, set number of parallel
                        processes

For example:

$ mlca "C:\PatientDicom" -n 8
Directory: C:\PatientDicom
Begin file tree scan ...
File tree scan complete
