<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: blue;">Hi Ida,</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: blue;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: blue;">We have a model of the GE Discovery LS scanner which we can share
with someone who has a </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: blue;">permanent position in your group. We also ask that person to
respond if he/she agrees with this:</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: blue;"> </span></p>
<p>Disclaimer: We are glad to share with your group our
current GATE model of the GE Advance/Discovery LS PET scanner, which we have
been developing and validating during the last few years (enclosed) . Despite
that, there still are some discrepancies with measurements and we will be glad
to work together for their full understanding and elimination. Please be
advised that the model is approximate and is to be used only for research.
Therefore we do not carry any responsibility for any erroneous results or mishaps
related to the use of the model in any way. If you use the model in
publications, please refer to our paper (Schmidtlein et al,) in the January'06
issue of Medical Physics (v 33(1) p 198). Please do not share the scanner
model with other groups without our consent. </p>

</div><div><div></div><div class="h5">
<p> </p>
<p>Hello Gaters!<br>
I wonder if the camera setups (Gate code) is available anywhere for the
"Gate-modelled systems"-->"PET systems" listed on the
Gate homepage? I don't have access to any camera myself yet, so I'm not sure on
how to set up all crystals, blocks and so on... I'm particulary interested in
any GE camera, so if anyone knows if these codes are publicly available, please
let me know! <br>
<br>
I also have another question regarding Matlab. Does anyone know if it's
possible to get the sinogram output imported and reconstructed in Matlab? I
want to move all my output to Matlab where I will do more calculartions, but I
need a good way to move either unreconstructed data there and reconstruct it in
matlab, or ready images that can be imported as matrices. Does anyone have
experience on Gate-->Matlab?<br>
<br>
Thanks for any help! Cheers,<br>
Ida</p>
