contents Towards the need for automated and precise AI-based analysis of medical images, we present RT-utils, a specialized Python library tuned for the manipulation of radiotherapy (RT) structures stored in DICOM format. RT-utils excels in converting the polygon contours into binary masks, ensuring accuracy and efficiency. By converting DICOM RT structures into standardized formats such as NumPy arrays and SimpleITK Images, RT-utils optimizes inputs for computational solutions such as AI-based automated segmentation techniques or radiomics analysis. Since its inception in 2020, RT-utils has been used extensively with a focus on simplifying complex data processing tasks. RT-utils offers researchers a powerful solution to enhance workflows and drive significant advancements in medical imaging.
