<DIV>Hi, Tibo:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks for your kind suggestion. I have run the simulation
with 64912000 events (static point source with limited angles covering the
whole phantom), but it does not go well. I think the number of
events should be enough for the phantom (72*88*63 matrix) accumulating
dose. In fact, if I do not use the command
"/gate/NCAT/setSkipEqualMaterials 0", most elements of the matrix is not
"1", although some matrix elements are "NaN". I'm not sure if the problem
comes from how i import phantom matrix. Currently i use the commands
"/gate/UWCEM/imagReader/tabulatedTranslator/readTable" &
"readFile" from ASCII file but not the commonly used command
"interfileReader". </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. </DIV>

me, it just means that your fractional standard deviations at the voxel level
are equal to 1. You need to run more particles to have these numbers going
down.

<DIV>Hi, Thibault:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks for your kind reply. I have used the command:
/gate/NCAT/setSkipEqualMaterials 0 as you suggested, but I got "1 1 1 1 1
1 1 1 1 ... " in file PhantomDose-Dose-Uncertainty.txt. It seems worse than
NaN issue. I do not know what is wrong. Do you have any
other suggestion? Thanks in advance. </DIV>

<DIV>Hi, I'm far from an expert but try to add the command :</DIV>
<DIV>/gate/nameofyourregularMatrixvolume/setSkipEqualMaterials 0</DIV>
<DIV>at the end of the geometry macro, after you define your volume. </DIV>
<DIV>Hope this will help..</DIV>

<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Dear Gate users, </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I attached an DoseActor to the regularMatrix phantom on a CTScanner system. </DIV>
<DIV>The following macros show how I collect dose:</DIV>
<DIV>/gate/actor/addActor DoseActor </DIV>
<DIV>mActor</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>/gate/actor/mActor/save </DIV>
<DIV>./output/PhantomDose.txt</DIV>
<DIV>/gate/actor/mActor/attachTo NCAT #the name of my </DIV>
<DIV>regularMatrix phantom</DIV>
<DIV>/gate/actor/mActor/enableEdep false</DIV>
<DIV>/gate/actor/mActor/enableUncertaintyEdep </DIV>
<DIV>false</DIV>
<DIV>/gate/actor/mActor/enableSquaredEdep </DIV>
<DIV>false</DIV>
<DIV>/gate/actor/mActor/enableDose true</DIV>
<DIV>/gate/actor/mActor/enableUncertaintyDose </DIV>
<DIV>true</DIV>
<DIV>/gate/actor/mActor/normaliseDose false</DIV>
<DIV>/gate/actor/mActor/setResolution 72 88 63 #the pixel size is the </DIV>
<DIV>same with the size of regularMatrix</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>After the simulation (more than 10^7 events), I got the output file </DIV>
<DIV>"PhantomDose-Dose-Uncertainty.txt" that I expected. However, I found some </DIV>
<DIV>NaN value in the file. It looks like: </DIV>
