pyROT: Python RayOcular Tools

Python RayOcular Tools is a Python library to complement RayOcular, an eye-specific module of RaySearch. It currently consists of three parts:

1. pyROT itself, which is Python package provides a set of tools to work with eye models in Python. This library is designed to be as vendor-agnostic as possible, allowing it to be used without RaySearch. Interactions with RaySearch are handled through pyrot.ro_interface;
2. scripts contains a set of scripts that can be run from within RaySearch and perform common tasks, such as generating eye models. These scripts import the pyROT package for all calculations.
3. standalone, as set of Python scripts that can be used without RaySearch, for example to analyse a large set of eye models (still to be added).

In addition, we hope that the pyROT repository will provide a platform to exchange methods and scripts within the ocular Proton Therapy community.

Future ideas

• Extend the pyROT package with more tools, such as to determine the optimal gazing angle for a given eye model.
• Extend the unit tests to cover more of the pyROT package.
