How to use this board
This board is meant to collect new ideas for pylinac and allow users to vote on them so that the "squeaky wheel gets the grease" is applied correctly (based on votes, ...

read PTW .mcc files
At our institution we use equippment from PTW including 2D arrays and a water tank. It would be great to have an option to read the .mcc data files and analyze them ...

Analyze the PentaGuide phantom

EDW Support for EPI-based Field Analysis
Support for analysing EDW images. The test could take either a single EDW image, or an EDW image and a corresponding open field image of the same field size. The idea ...

Analyze HU from Gammex RMI phantom
It would be nice to be able to analyze the scanner HU values for the Gammex RMI Phantom with pylinac.

Dosimetric Leaf Gap & MLC Transmission
Since finding the optimal dosimetric leaf gap (DLG) value per energy per machine is an iterative process, it would be nice to have some tools to help. One possible ...

When using plot_analyzed_image(), ability to resize the image easily
The images that get plotted are small, by default. Is there any way that, when using the pylinac.planar_imaging module for example, arguments could be added to ...

Coordinate system option for Winston-Lutz
The WL algorithm currently assumes IEC61217. If the user does not have that coordinate system they have to make inferences backwards to get the correct shift to place ...
Done
A GUI
This request comes often, but is outside the scope of pylinac. You are encouraged to build your own, make a fork with a GUI, or otherwise use a derivative tool.

Take into account field asymmetry for Winston Lutz
The Winston Lutz Test assumes that the field used is perfectly symmetrical. But that must not be the case: to take account of a possible error fields with 0 and 180° ...

Winston Lutz Results @ Optimal BB Position
Is it cheating to physically adjust the Winston Lutz ball according to the recommended shift and then remeasure? Why not just perform this correction virtually the ...

Light to Rad QA for SI FC-2
While being conditionally required according to TG 142, I do not believe it would hurt to introduce the functionality similar to field analysis for different ...
Done
Analyze the RIT L-Rad phantom
Supporting light field radiation coincidence phantoms would be neat. The RIT L-Rad is the one that gets my vote for being the one we currently use. ...

Reduce Noise In Planar Image MTF
Calculating the Planar Image MTF (mtf.py) using single pixel roi MAX and MIN values is susceptible to dead pixels and noise. Results are more stable and allow for ...

EPID QA - Compare predicted fluence to EPID Image
For places that don't have all the same vendor for easy portal/EPID Dosimetry/QA, a simple program that loads the two dicom files (one from the TPS, and one from the ...

Light to Rad Test with PTW FIELDCHECKepid
It would be nice if pylinac could also support light to rad tests with PTW FIELDCHECKepid.
There is an excellent documentation at ...
