Overview

About

Read, process, and export DICOM and DICOM-RT files (structures, dosimetry, imagery) for medical physics and clinical research, with patient-oriented 2D-3D visualization.

Changes in 1.11.5

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES:

  • **Legacy Data Migration**: The qs package has been removed from dependencies (Suggests). Users with legacy .Rdcm files (pre-version 1.11.1) will now receive a detailed message guiding them to install qs from GitHub or CRAN Archives if needed. Migration to the new qs2 format via Rdcm.upgrade() is strongly recommended while using R <= 4.4.

BUG FIXES:

  • Fixed 'vnu' additional issues by removing the dependency on the mathjaxr package

and ensuring all mathematical equations are LaTeX-compliant.

  • Improved HTML documentation compatibility with W3C standards to ensure error-free rendering in modern browsers.
