In planit-group/Rplanit: Radiotherapy with ion beams - planning, simulations and analysis

Create a field object (dataframe)

Description

The field object is a dataframe. Different fields are added by apending rows to the dataframe. Each of the following parameter is a dataframe column.

Usage

create.field(N = 1, beamLine = "protonSimple", targetVOI = "PTV",
  targetVOIIndex = NA, iecGantryAngle = 0,
  iecPatientSupportAngle = 0, interSpotSpacing = c(1.2, 1.2, 1.2),
  spotsExtensionOutsideTarget = 0, targetIsocenter = c(NA, NA, NA))

Arguments

N	number of fields.
targetVOIIndex	the index of the target VOI.
iecGantryAngle	gantry angle.
iecPatientSupportAngle	patient support angle.
interSpotSpacing	spacing among spots along the three axis of the beam port (mm).
spotsExtensionOutsideTarget	thickness of the extension of the spot coverage outside the target VOI.
targetIsocenter	coordinates of the isocenter of the target VOI.
