Most of the time you can use the default scripts to see the correct isodose lines on a plan.
But sometimes another “non-standard” dose is prescribed.
This is a way to get the right isodoselines (107% & 95%) on a plan.
The file contains 3 scripts.
“IsodoseLines_Question.Script needs to be called by the HotscriptList.
It will ask for the input of the desired dose.
If the dose is higher then 10Gy the script calls “HighIsodoseLines_Var.Script” which will create 8 isodose lines at 107; 103; 100; 98,5; 97; 95; 65 and 30%. The 107 and 95% lines are Thick.
If the dose is Lower then 10Gy the script calls “LowIsodoseLines_Var.Script” which will create 8 isodose lines at 120; 107; 100; 95; 80; 65; 50 and 30%. The 107 and 95% lines are Thick.
The advantages of the script are that you don’t need to calculate manually. The isodose lines always have the same color. The value’s shown on the screen represent the real values of the isodose lines (no rounding down or up).
Remark : The scripts was made for isodose shown in Gy. For cGy the scripts need to be adapted whit a factor 100.
