DoseAreaUnder

DoseAreaUnder is a library designed for precise dose calculations in medical radiation therapy. It is primarily used in the simulation of radiation therapy and the development of treatment planning systems. The library was created as an open-source, non-profit project to provide a framework for dose calculations based on radiation therapy principles.

DoseAreaUnder allows users to calculate the dose delivered to specific points in 3D space using a uniform, non-uniform, or Clarkson dose calculation algorithm. The library also includes tools to calculate dose distribution statistics, such as mean dose, maximum dose, and dose volume histograms.

DoseAreaUnder supports a wide range of radiation therapy dosimetry models and implementations. It is compatible with various treatment planning software systems, including those developed using Matlab, Python, or C++. The library's architecture is designed to be flexible and scalable, allowing users to build upon its functionality to create customized solutions.

One of the primary design goals of DoseAreaUnder is to provide accurate dose calculations that meet regulatory requirements. It includes validation and verification tools to ensure that the dose calculations conform to relevant international standards.

DoseAreaUnder is used in various applications, including research, development, and clinical environments. It is widely adopted in the industry due to its flexibility, robustness, and open-source nature. The library is maintained and updated by a community of developers and radiation therapy professionals to ensure its relevance and accuracy in supporting modern radiation therapy dose calculations.
