The PyMedPhys Project aims to develop a common core package for Medical Physics in Python and foster an ecosystem of interoperable Medical Physics packages. It is inspired by our physics peers in astronomy and their Astropy Project.
This package is available on PyPi (https://pypi.org/project/pymedphys/), GitHub (https://github.com/pymedphys/pymedphys), and conda-forge (https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/pymedphys). Documentation is at https://pymedphys.com.
PyMedPhys is what it is today due to its maintainers and developers. The currently active developers and maintainers of PyMedPhys are given below in alphabetical order along with their affiliation:
- Matthew Jennings
- Royal Adelaide Hospital, Australia
- Matthew Sobolewski
- Riverina Cancer Care Centre, Australia
- Northern Beaches Cancer Care, Australia
- Paul King
- Anderson Regional Cancer Center, United States
- Simon Biggs
- Riverina Cancer Care Centre, Australia
We want you on this list. We want you, clinical Medical Physicist, to join our team. We want you if you have a desire to create and validate a toolbox we can all use. We want you even if all you feel comfortable contributing to is documentation.
The aim of PyMedPhys is that it will be developed by an open community of contributors. We use a shared copyright model that enables all contributors to maintain the copyright on their contributions. All code is licensed under the AGPLv3+ with additional terms from the Apache-2.0 license.
These libraries are currently under beta level development. Be prudent with the code in this library.
Throughout the lifetime of this library the following disclaimer will always hold:
In no event and under no legal theory, whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise, unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill, work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
