Abstract
© Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd. A system has been developed to provide flexible, efficient and robust processing of radiotherapy planning and treatment data collected in the VoxTox project, which investigates differences between planned and delivered dose, and dose-toxicity correlations. This paper outlines the system requirements and implementation, highlighting the use made of software tools and computing models developed for experiments at the Large Hadron Collider. Experience with VoxTox data processing is summarised.
