KIMView: An open-source real-time tumour motion, dose, and anatomy visualisation tool for radiotherapy

Introduction

Image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT) typically focuses on measuring geometric errors in patient’s anatomy, especially tumor position and methods to account for it. Geometric accuracy is an indirect measure of treatment quality. The metric of most interest in radiotherapy that correlates directly with clinical outcomes is dose to tumour and critical organs [1]. The goal of this project is to develop an open-source real-time tumour motion, dose, and anatomy visualisation tool for radiotherapy so the treatment team can see the dose being delivered to the dynamic patient.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

KIMView depends on the following toolkits:

1. QT 5.XX or later but not QT 6.X
2. VTK 7.X
3. GDCM 2.8.X
4. ITK 4.XX
5. CMake
6. Visual Studio Community Edition

Either you can download the tookits and build VTK, GDCM & ITK yourself or else you can use the libs and DLLs provided.The sequence of build is VTK->GDCM->ITK. You need to use CMake to configure the build process and genereate make files then build build with Visual Studio. The current version of KIMView is only compatible with the versions of libraries mentioned above.
