Hi,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Ah, my apologies. I believe GatePet2Stir and the c code only works on cylindricalPET systems in Gate, then. Those systems are made up of components rsector, module, submodule, and crystal in Gate, whereas the ecat system only has components block
and crystal.</div>

</div>
<div>At this point, modifying the c code probably is your best option. </div><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888">

<div>Hi<br>
<br>
This file gives us the same problems as GatePet2Stir. A closer look shows that this c file is looking for module and submodule info in the root file, while in our root file there is only block info. Indeed, in the Gate 7.0 ecat macro, there is no info on modules
at all. <br>
<br>
I think I can modify the C code accordingly but if anyone can provide pointers, or tell us why this happened, this would be great.<br>

<br>
Hi Kris, hi Ana,<br>
<br>
I’ve never used the DigiGate option, but it might work. However, it only<br>
works if you have saved the Hits (and not just the coincidences or the singles)<br>
in your Root output. You would then just use the -d (or --d? I'll check and<br>
correct the Gate wiki, if needed) option, with the same macro you used<br>
before (but adding the sinogram output).<br>
<br>
Again, I'm not sure if that would work, but it's worth a try.<br>
<br>
Another possibility is to use Ross Schmidtlein and Sadek Nehmeh's code for<br>
generating projection data from Root output:<br>
<a href="http://www.opengatecollaboration.org/sites/opengatecollaboration.org/file" target="_blank">http://www.opengatecollaboration.org/sites/opengatecollaboration.org/file</a><br>
s/Bin_GATE_v1.0.c<br>
<br>
That's the code I've used before (and my personal preferred way of going<br>
from Gate to STIR). You just need to put in the correct values for your<br>
scanner.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Marc<br>

So, instead, what we tried is to use the ecat sinogram output via<br>
<br>
/gate/output/sinogram/enable<br>
/gate/output/sinogram/setFileName MySinogramFileName<br>
<br>
That outputs the 3D sinogram as raw floats. There's then a STIR utility (that<br>

somemacro.mac" (or is it "Gate --d"?). Would that work here as well? What<br>
would the appropriate contents of that macro then be (the same as the<br>
original one with the sinogram output enabled?). I can't seem to find any<br>
documentation on the -d option, but then I don't know Gate really.<br>
