Welcome to AMIGOpy (A Medical Image-based Graphical platfOrm - Python)! This is an evolution of the previously developed MATLAB-based software AMIGOBrachy. While AMIGOBrachy was a user interface tailored specifically for absorbed dose calculations in brachytherapy coupled with MCNP6 MC code, AMIGOpy extends this functionality and brings a plethora of new features, with a Python backbone and VTK for image rendering.
-
Modular Support for RadioTherapy Modules: AMIGOpy offers resources for:
- Treatment planning visualisation
- Medical image rendering, contouring and segmentation
- Check here for a more complete list: https://www.amigo-medphys.com/features
-
Enhanced Image Support: Handle multiple image formats including (1st version focusing on DICOM):
- Nifti
- TIFF
- DICOM
-
Radiochromic Film Dosimetry and Dual-Energy CT.
-
Advanced Image Registration: Seamlessly register and process your medical images.
-
Auto Folder Searching: Automatically searches folders and subfolders, efficiently grouping and loading data.
-
3D Printing Support: For customized brachytherapy applicators.
The development of AMIGOpy emphasises:
- Strong Documentation: Every module, function, and feature is thoroughly documented
- Extensive user guide: Videos, tutorials, etc.
