Hi @saed
unfortunately there is no available tutorial. Briefly you have to do the following

  1. collect all DICOM files, preferably in a subfolder and even divided in subfolders for better organization.
    You need to have at least the following modalities:
  • CT scan
  • RTDOSE
  • RTPLAN
  • RTSTRUCT
  1. Open flair
  2. Start a new flair project based on the voxel template

  3. Go to the Dicom tab of flair. If not visible you can find it on the drop down menu on top-right
  4. Click on Add and select the folder with all dicom files. You can optionally increase the depth from 1 to 2 or 3 depending on the nesting of the subfolders. Do not exaggerate, it can take time
  5. Select all the dicoms you want and click Ok
  6. Click on the CT: scan dataset then click on the Voxel on the ribbon, and finally click on the VOXEL to create the voxel file
