Graphical User Interface

Code Example

load 'LIVER.mat'

pln.bixelWidth      = 5;     % [mm] 
pln.gantryAngles    = [300]; % [�]
pln.couchAngles     = [0];   % [�]
pln.radiationMode   = 'carbon';
pln.bioOptimization = 'LEMIV_RBExD';

stf = matRad_generateStf(ct,cst,pln);

dij = matRad_calcParticleDose(ct,stf,pln,cst);

resultGUI = matRad_fluenceOptimization(dij,cst,pln);

Code Example

beamIx = 2;
stf(beamIx).isoCenter(1) = stf(beamIx).isoCenter(1) + 3;

resultGUI_isoShift = matRad_calcDoseDirect(ct,stf,pln,cst,w);

slice = round(stf.isoCenter(3)./ct.resolution.z);

DoseDiff = resultGUI(:,:,slice) - resultGUI_isoShift(:,:,slice);

figure, imagesc(DoseDiff);colorbar
