Early experimental development, code expected to change dramatically. Uses Python/Cython.

Description

conehead :collision:

Build Status codecov

A collapsed-cone convolution radiotherapy dose calculation algorithm written in Python/Cython.

This project is currently in early experimental development. Expect the code to change dramatically over the coming months.

Inspiration has been drawn from Cho et al (2012) and Yang et al (2002).
