Supported Formats

TOPASMC

TopasGraphSim is layed out to visualize as much useful information about your simulations as possible. However, its use case is currently limited to line doses and spectral data only. Your scorer may only be binned in one dimension, otherwise the format is not supported. Therefore, I recommend specifying the output of your scorers as follows:

sv:Sc/<MyScorer>/Report = 5 "Sum" "Standard_Deviation" "Histories" "Count_In_Bin" "Max"
s:Sc/ScorerX/OutputType = "csv"

The standard deviation and the histories are used to display error bars on your curves. Of couse, you may also choose to score the mean instead of the sum - the standard deviation calculation is adapated accordingly.

The header of histogram simulations, binned for example by energy, is read out to specify the binning.

RadCalc

You can directly import files exported from RadCalc into TopasGraphSim. You will find a plot each for the measured and calculated doses.

RayStation

The import of baseline data from the RayStation planning system is now also supported.

Slicer Line Profiles

If you performed your simulation on a CT dataset, 1D dose profiles might still be of interest. TopasGraphSim can directly import line profiles created with the Sandbox Extension for Slicer.

MEPHYSTO mc²

TopasGraphSim supports measurements made with the PTW Dosimetry software. I am working on supporting all possible setups here - in case your files won't load, please provide me with an example, and I will try to add support for your specific case.

Since multiple measurements can be stored in a single file, you have the choice which dataset to load. For further information, please visit the Loading Data section.

Text Files

You have the option to load data from .txt files. The following format is supported:

• No header
• Maximum of three columns (Axis, Dose, Error)
• Values separated by tabs
