Extension Description

Multidimensional data is an extension of 3D Slicer to allow creating and visualization of higher-dimension data nodes, such as 4D volumes, models changing in time, markups changing in time, sequences of transforms, scene camera trajectory, or even sequence of sequences. Software features include:

• Synthetic dose volume generation for testing.
• Motion simulation for systematic and random errors.
• Dose population histogram generation based on motion simulation.
• A complete simulation module for margin calculation.

Modules

• Dose Morphology
• Dose Population Histogram
• MarginCalculator
• Motion Simulator
• Synthetic RT Dose
