Independent DosE cAlculation for Light ion beam therapy using Geant4/GATE. Also known as pyidc.
This is the 1.0 release of the IDEAL project. This was developed between
February 2018 and March 2021 at EBG MedAustron GmbH, in collaboration with
ACMIT Gmbh and the Medical University of Vienna.
This code has been tested to work correctly for treatment plans with the fixed beam lines of the
MedAustron clinic. At the time of this release it has not yet been tested at any other clinic, but we hope
that this software will be useful at other clinics as well.
If you wish to install this 1.0 release, please clone this code directly from
GitHub on a shared disk of the submit node of your HTCondor cluster and follow
the installation instructions. In order to facilitate installation with pip,
the code will be reorganized a git, in particular the ideal module will
effectively be renamed pyidc in order to avoid a name collision with an
existing (but currently unmaintained) "iDEAL" python module. This will then be released as a 1.1 release.
This project will not work until it has been properly configured, regardless of
whether you install this project by cloning or with pip install pyidc (1.1 and later).
Please take your time and read the "installation"
and "commissioning" sections of the documentation carefully.
