Welcome to AMIGOpy (A Medical Image-based Graphical platfOrm - Python)! This is an evolution of the previously developed MATLAB-based software AMIGOBrachy. While AMIGOBrachy was a user interface tailored specifically for absorbed dose calculations in brachytherapy coupled with MCNP6 MC code, AMIGOpy extends this functionality and brings new features, with a Python backbone and VTK for image rendering.
Why is the Matlab version being discontinued?
The original MATLAB version underwent numerous enhancements over the years, incorporating features for image processing, EBRT, and proton simulations. However, the interface lacks modularity, making upgrades a significant challenge. MATLAB has phased out the GUIDE environment, rendering it impossible to modify the interface with recent versions of MATLAB. The suggested alternative for app design was initially incompatible with Git (this issue may have been resolved since). Finally, Python is free!
The current version of MATLAB is still accessible but will not receive future updates.

Is the new version already available and what are the main differences?
The updated version has been released with limited functionalities by Nov 2024. It is being developed with a modular architecture to facilitate future upgrades. This software will incorporate numerous additional features, including an expanded range of file support (NIfTI, EGSphant, TIFF, etc.) and enhanced functionalities for image processing. These enhancements include 4DCT, DECT and support for the evaluation of measurement data.
Keep in mind most of the features are currently in the implementation or testing phase.
