Open Source Python Medical Physics Software

gVirtualXRay is a C++ library to simulate X-ray imaging. It is based on the Beer-Lambert law to compute the absorption of light (i.e. photons) by 3D objects (here polygon meshes). It is implemented on the graphics processing unit (GPU) using the OpenGL Shading Language (GLSL). SimpleGVXR is a smaller library build on the top of gVirtualXRay. It provides wrappers to Python2, Python3, R, Ruby, Tcl, C#, Java, and GNU Octave.

This project, developed at UCL London, provides code for tomographic reconstruction. NiftyRec is written in C and has Python and Matlab extensions. Computationally intensive functions have a GPU accelerated version based on CUDA.

The Simple Medical Imaging Library Interface (SMILI), pronounced 'smilie', is an open-source, light-weight and easy-to-use medical imaging viewer and library for all major operating systems. The main sMILX application features for viewing n-D images, vector images, DICOMs, anonymizing, shape analysis and models/surfaces with easy drag and drop functions. It also features a number of standard processing algorithms for smoothing, thresholding, masking etc. images and models, both with graphical user interfaces and/or via the command-line. See our YouTube channel for tutorial videos via the homepage. The applications are all built out of a uniform user-interface framework that provides a very high level (Qt) interface to powerful image processing and scientific visualisation algorithms from the Insight Toolkit (ITK) and Visualisation Toolkit (VTK). The framework allows one to build stand-alone medical imaging applications quickly and easily.

SimPET (http://www.sim-pet.org) is an open, efficient, and user‐friendly online platform for the generation of synthetic brain PET datasets. The platform offers the ability to generate realistic activity and attenuation maps from patient's PET/CT and MRI images. These maps can then be simulated, and sinograms and simulated images can be downloaded. More advanced features can be obtained by using the SimPET scripts: https://github.com/txusser/brainviset_simset https://github.com/txusser/simpet (New version pre-alpha) You can also upload your own phantoms to simulate. Currently the platform incorporates MC models for the GE Advance, GE Discovery ST and Siemens mCT. More models are on the way. You can also access all the previously simulated datasets from the dev team to test your quantification pipeline (Files section in this page). This project is an open collaboration between IDIS (www.idisantiago.es), Qubiotech (www.qubiotech.es), and FGUMA (www.fguma.es).

Medical Image Reconstruction Framework

This software allows to fit various hyperelastic constitutive models. Optimal set of parameters of a selected constitutive model can be identified. Many advanced setting, methods and corrections are available to get optimal results according to the user's preference.

Hosted at google code, for latest version please go to: https://code.google.com/p/ctqa-cp/ Automatic image quality analysis of computed tomography images of the CatPhan? phantom. CTQA is a software package to aid in quality assurance of image quality for CT scanners. The software currently only supports analysis of CT-images of the CatPhan600? phantom. Other phantoms may be supported upon request. The purpose of CTQA-cp is twofold: 1) To handle and analyze image sets consisting of a few thousand images that is commonly obtained from image quality assurance protocols on CT scanners. 2) Easily provide results that can be copied to your favorite word or spreadsheet processor, or be saved to disk.

Objective: The program is being developed for three main purposes: A. Dose assessment after acute whole body exposure. B. Dose assessment in partial body exposure C. Dose assessment after protracted and fractioned exposure 2. Applicability The following DNA lesions can be investigated with the help of the program: A. Dicentrics B. γ-H2AX foci C. Micronuclei D. PCC fragments It is planned to include Comet assays as well RICA assays in the future.

This is Python based program for analysis of radiochromic films. Similar to filmQAPro, but free. It can be used to study Gafchromic EBTX films.

MIPPY is a minimalistic DICOM image browser with built-in image processing modules. Its modular design means it can be extended with any number of user-created modules for image processing and analysis.

The OpenVCT project is designed to provide a common platform for performing Virtual Clinical Trials of medical imaging. OpenVCT provides tools for simulation of patient accrual and reader studies of medical imaging devices, simulating by simulating cohorts of patients and readers. OpenVCT uses common data standards, such as DICOM, to ensure inter-compatibility.

Oree - Optimum Real-time Estimation of Events of Interaction: real-time reconstruction of photon interaction events in Gamma Cameras. Optionally making use of a CUDA enable GPU, Oree achieves reconstruction of over 1M events/sec.

Toast++ is a C++ software package for modelling light transport in scattering media using the finite element method. It allows 3D reconstruction of absorption and scattering distributions inside an object from boundary measurements of light transmission, using steady state, time domain or frequency domain information. Matlab and Python bindings exist for ease of use and fast prototyping.

Tools for Medical Physics Department

Copenhagen Computed Tomography Toolbox is a collection of applications and libraries for flexible and efficient CT reconstruction. The toolbox apps generally take a set of projections (X-ray intensity measurements) and filter and back project them in order to recreate the image or volume that the projections represent. The project includes both mostly informative CPU implementations and highly efficient GPU implementations. Regular releases are hosted at the Python Package Index.
