我们为基于geant4的医学物理应用开发了DICOM接口和可视化工具，用于剂量计算，特别是放射治疗，目的是准确地全面模拟粒子传播和与医疗设备以及患者组织的相互作用。DICOM通常用于在上述领域中传输数字图像，例如患者图像信息。利用DICOM接口，我们成功地检索了各种制造商的DICOM数据流，构建了Geant4几何结构，并在基于Geant4的应用程序中模拟了粒子与患者组织的相互作用。可视化工具提供患者图像的体积渲染和融合以及计算剂量分布
We developed a DICOM interface and a visualization tool for Geant4-based medical physics applications for the use of dose calculation, in particular to radiotherapy in purpose of accurate full-simulation of particles propagating and interacting with not only medical devices but also patient tissues. DICOM is commonly used to transport digital images such as patient image information in the above-mentioned domains. With the DICOM interface, we succeeded in retrieving various manufacturers' DICOM data stream, constructing Geant4 geometry and simulating particle interaction with patient tissues in our Geant4-based application. The visualization tool provides volume rendering and fusion of patient image and calculated dose distribution
