Hello community,

is there still develepment for RADIANCE? If not, what is the alternative?

Has anyone managed to find a stable solution do read Toshiba (single- and multipage) dose report?

Thank you!

Hi Antonio

*** Disclosure: I am the original author for OpenREM. ***

I can't help you with the health of RADIANCE, though it does seem to be four years since it was updated, and the domain name has expired... Maybe Tessa is able to help with an update?

In the mean time, for the second part of your question, you might like to look at OpenREM. It is a slightly different approach than Tessa used for Radiance, but it is an open source radiation dose management system, and the current release has support for creating RDSR objects from legacy Toshiba scanners which can then be imported to OpenREM. As I think RADIANCE did, OpenREM relies on David Clunie's excellent pixelmed software for this, but the OpenREM code further enhances the richness of the RDSR produced by getting additional information from a subset of the image files. OpenREM can be installed on Linux or Windows, and probably on Mac.

If this sounds interesting, the website is at openrem.org, the docs are at docs.openrem.org/en/0.8.1 and the Toshiba import function is described at docs.openrem.org/en/0.8.1/import-from-file.html

Kind regards

Ed

I've been actively learning to use Radiance for the last few months, and the Radiance Github gets updated very frequently. I suspect the person running the Github would be a great resource to talk to.
