MACARON-PlanComplexity

This projects stems from MACARON and focuses on (RT) Plan Complexity Metrics It computes different plan complexity metrics, either custom or taken from external libraries.

Output

For each RTplan, it provides a folder containing CSV files and PNG images (plots)

Custom Metrics

The tool computes the following custom metrics, which are printed in a CSV

per Beam:

• MUbeam
• MUfinalweight
• M
• MCS
• MCSV
• MFC
• BI
• avgApertureLessThan1cm
• yDiffLessThan1cm
• SAS2
• SAS5
• SAS10
• SAS20

per Plan:

• MUplan
• Mplan
• MCSplan
• MCSVplan
• MFCplan
• PI
• nCP
• avgApertureLessThan1cm
• yDiffLessThan1cm

Metrics from Existing Frameworks

Moreover, it plots the following graphs, and the corresponding CSV file:

• ApertureIrregularityMetric
• AreaMetricEstimator
• MeanAreaMetricEstimator
• PyComplexityMetric using the library at "https://github.com/victorgabr/ApertureComplexity", from Victor Gabriel Leandro Alves, D.Sc. University of Michigan, Radiation Oncology https://github.com/umro/Complexity

Dependencies of the Python

• numpy
• matplotlib
• pydicom
• shutil
• and the GitHub library above
