dear gate-user
I am a beginner in vgate.
I have a question a bout geometry.
Paper : 
The Inveon PET system is a lutetium oxyorthosilicate (LSO)– based, high-sensitivity, high-resolution preclinical PET scanner The system has been installed at the PET Center, Nanfang Hospital of Southern Medical University at Guangzhou, Guangdong (Lu et al. 2014). It consists of 64 detector blocks arranged in 4 contiguous rings. Each detector block has a 20 × 20 LSO crystal array configuration. Each crystal element is 10.0 mm long and has a crosssectional area of 1.51 × 1.51 mm. The crystal pitch is 1.59 mm in both axial and transverse directions. The crystal ring diameter is 16.1 cm while the transaxial and axial FOV are 10.0 cm and 12.7 cm[1]
 
I tried setting up by looking at the following

I want to know what went wrong.
Thanks for reading.
