<div>Hi all,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I am a novice of GATE. I tried it on PET simulation and I used a very simple F-18 source of Rmax=5cm, halfz=4cm cylinder, with 10^7 Bq. That means the activity concentration is about 1uCi/cc. However, this simulation took <strong>10 days</strong> to finish. For a real NEMA/IEC phantom, it has six spheres of about 50cc in all and a 10L background. Usually we would inject 1mCi into the background, so that is 3.7*10^7Bq. So I can guess that it may need 30 days to finish... I think it is impossible. Could anyone give me some advice about how to decrease running time or if I mistook sth? I have added the program I ran in the attachment. Thanks for help.</div>

<div>Sincerely,</div>
