Software for post processing of Fluorescent Nuclear Track Detector (FNTD) images and out-of-field dose evaluation

Abstract

This dataset contains two MATLAB code packages for the automated analysis of Fluorescent Nuclear Track Detector (FNTD) data acquired with the FXR700RG readout system. The first package (FXR_post_processing) provides a complete post-processing workflow optimized for 3D FNTD image analysis, including automated processing of image stacks, particle track reconstruction, and configurable analysis parameters. Different processing options can be adjusted through the provided parameter file (get_parameters) to accommodate various experimental settings. The second package (Dose_Evaluation) performs dose evaluation based on the processed FNTD data. It includes routines for calculating dose-related quantities, such as absorbed dose, dose equivalent and linear energy transfer (LET), as well as polar angle correction and sensitivity correction. Both packages are written in MATLAB and are intended to be used sequentially, with the post-processing workflow generating the input for the dose evaluation routine. The dataset includes: - MATLAB source code for both processing and dose evaluation. - Example datasets for testing and demonstration. - README files describing requirements, workflow, and usage. These codes are intended to facilitate reproducible and automated analysis of FNTD measurements and can be adapted for similar experimental workflows.
