PyEQD2
Use Python to convert a DICOM-RT dose distribution to its Linear Quadratic Equivalent Dose in 2-Gy Fractions (LQED2, EQD2).
Example (Main Functions)
import pyeqd2 as eqd
dicompath = '/Users/macuser/Downloads/testfile.dcm'
a = eqd.RTDose(dicompath)
a.plot()
a.plot_legend()
fractions = 8 # number of fractions
abratio = 3 # alpha/beta ratio
a.make_eqd2(fractions, abratio)
a.export()
Example (Other Commands)
# For an easy way to multiply the entire dose distribution before or after conversion to EQD2:
factor = 8
a.multiply(factor)
Requirements:
Python 3 Standard Library with the following additional packages:
- Matplotlib
- NumPy
- pydicom
