DICOM RTP Extractor – Python Tool for Radiation Therapy Data Parsing
Overview
The DICOM RTP Extractor is a specialized Python tool designed for extracting critical information from Radiotherapy (RTP) DICOM files, such as RTSTRUCT and RTPLAN. This tool enables medical physicists, radiation oncologists, and researchers to efficiently parse and analyze radiation therapy data for treatment planning, quality assurance, and troubleshooting.
Key Features
✅ Extract ROI Names & Geometry Types – Parses RTSTRUCT files to retrieve (3006,0026) ROI Name and (3006,0042) ROI Geometry Type for contour verification.
✅ Analyze RTPLAN Parameters – Retrieves essential treatment planning parameters such as beam parameters (including setup beams).
✅ Pythonic & Efficient – Uses pydicom and numpy for fast, reliable parsing.
✅ Customizable & Open – Easily extendable for integration with clinical workflows or research applications.
Use Cases
- Debugging RTSTRUCT import errors related to missing or incorrect (3006,0042) Contour Geometric Type.
- Automating radiation therapy quality assurance and validation.
- Extracting treatment parameters for data analysis and research.
This tool is ideal for medical physicists, clinical researchers, and radiation oncology IT specialists who need a reliable solution for handling radiotherapy DICOM data.
