DVHmetrics

Analyze Dose-Volume Histograms and Check Constraints using R

DVHmetrics provides functionality for the analysis of dose-volume histograms in radiation oncology:

• Read dose-volume-histogram (DVH) text files
• Calculate arbitrary DVH metrics, show DVH diagrams
• Calculate gEUD, BED, convert DVH doses to EQD2
• Calculate TCP and NTCP according to LKB (Lyman probit), Niemierko logit, or Kaellman Poisson (relative seriality) model
• Check and visualize quality assurance constraints for the DVH
• Includes a shiny-based web application for most of the functionality - also available online at shiny.imbei.uni-mainz.de/DVHmetrics/.
• For further explanations and an example walkthrough, see the package vignette
