Extension Description

Film dosimetry analysis is a 2D dosimetry tool used in commissioning new radiation techniques and to validate the accuracy of radiation treatment by enabling visual comparison of the planned dose to the delivered dose. The extension depends on the SlicerRT general radiation therapy extension
