dicomutils

A set of utilities for working with DICOM files.

The main utility is currently build_dicom, which can generate simple synthetic CT data, MR data, PET data, RT Structure sets, RT Doses and RT Plans.

All output files will be placed in the current working directory, and named as <MODALITY>_<SOPINSTANCEUID>.dcm, e.g. CT_2.25.119389864082697057857042902898482259876.84.dcm.

Examples

Get help:

$ ./build_dicom.py --help

Generate a 50cm x 50cm x 50cm water phantom CT data with 5mm resolution and a RT Structure set with a box ROI:

$ ./build_dicom.py \
      --patient-position HFS --values 0 --voxelsize 5,5,5 --voxels 100,100,100 --modality CT \
      --structure external --modality RTSTRUCT

Generate CT data with two cavities (one denser), rois covering them, a box outline, an arbitrary plan and a lightfield "dose":

$ ./build_dicom.py \
      --patient-position HFS --values 0 \
        --values "sphere,-100,25,[50;86.6;0]" --values "box,100,25,[50;-86.6;0]" \
        --voxelsize 4,3,4 --voxels 48,64,48 --modality CT \
      --structure external \
        --structure "sphere,Ball,25,CAVITY,[50;86.6;0]" \
        --structure "box,Cube,25,CAVITY,[50;-86.6;0]" --modality RTSTRUCT \
      --beams "[3;123;270]" \
        --mlc-shape "1,circle,30" --jaw-shape "1,[60;60]" \
        --mlc-shape "2,rectangle,60,60" --jaw-shape "2,[70;70;10;10]" \
        --mlc-shape "3,rectangle,40,80" --jaw-shape "3,[40;80]" \
        --nominal-energy 6 --modality RTPLAN \
      --values 0 --values lightfield --modality RTDOSE
