NCI Radiotherapy Treatment Planning Tools

General Information

If you're new to the NCI RTPT project, you should get a general overview first. The material you are reading now is devoted to work on the NCI Tools Contract that was done locally at the University of Washington.

Contract Reports.

Several reports and papers were written for the contract. We recommend reading the ASTRO '93 paper first.

The Planning Target Volume Tool

The Planning Target Volume Tool (PTVT) was developed at UW. Further information is available on acquiring the PTVT tool and supporting documentation.

The UW Foundation Implementation

A Foundation is required in order to run any Tool from the NCI Tools Contract. At the University of Washington we implemented a C version of the Foundation interface specification and a Common Lisp version. This was done to support tools written in either C or Lisp, both ANSI standard languages and both part of the RTPT standard. The source code for both the C and Lisp implementations is in a tar file.
