Technical Guide

features a very modular and sequential design which is reflected in the matRad script. After importing your own data or loading one of the provided cases, you can start working with matRad dose calculation and optimization modules. The four main parts of the matRad workflow are

Information about the individual modules is given in the following sections:

Global configuration with MatRad_Config

Set treatment plan parameters

Dose influence matrix calculation

Fluence optimization (potentiall followed by sequencing)

Visualization
