Read contours from DICOM file

Description

Read the contours from a DICOM file and return a contours data frame. The CT data is also mandatory to identify the slice for each contour polygon. The CT data can be specified with one of the following: folder.CT.dicom, CT or z.CT. z.CT has precendence to CT that has precendence to folder.CT.dicom.

Usage

read.contours.dicom(file.contours.dicom, folder.CT.dicom = NULL,
  CT = NULL, z.CT = NULL, tissue = "R3PIDEd0.2v0+MKM")

Arguments

file.contours.dicom	the name of the contours file
folder.CT.dicom	the name of the DICOM CT folder. The CT is needed to properly identify the slice for each contour polygon.
CT	the CT object (alternative to folder.CT.dicom and z.CT)
z.CT	a vector for the z coordinates of the slices of the reference CT (alternative to folder.CT.dicom and CT)

Value

A contours dataframe consisting of:

id	index of the contours
polygon	index of the polygon
slice	index of the slice
x,y,z	x,y,z coordinates
contour	contour (VOI) name
tissue	tissue+biological model name
type	contour type (target, OAR, etc.)
colour	the hex specification of the colour associated to the contour.
