Description

Hi guys.
I am a medical researcher and working on DICOM files in my current project.
I wonder to know is it possible to be able to uniformly extend or shorten one of ROIs in rt-struct DICOM file?
Uniformly extending or shortening PTV(Planning Target Volume) in rt-struct DICOM file and obtaining the overlap volume between this PTV and surrounding Organ at risks (OAR) lead us to calculate OVH (Overlap Volume Histogram) which is a useful feature feeding machine learning models.

Research direction

Start by reading the repository's public API for RTStruct and ROI manipulation, then trace how ROI masks are represented and written to DICOM. Clarify the expected uniform expansion or contraction behavior for PTVs and how overlap volume with OARs should be obtained. Done means the requested ROI transformation and overlap calculation are supported and covered by tests.
