o DICOM-RT image data and structure set imported using VTK o GUI serves as a viewer for all data parsed from DICOM-RT o GUI also serves as a front end GEANT4 software tool (no GEANT4 experience required) o source and applicator libraries available through the GUI o CT numbers converted to density and material for each voxel via user-specified data. Segmentation can also be performed based on the patients structure set o patient data is saved using the egsphant file format o the user can change various simulation settings, physics options, and scoring options via the GUI o the GUI also incorporates some (basic) treatment planning functionalities (simulated annealing-based optimization with dose constraints)
