[Gate-users] Overlaps when using voxelized phantom

Hi Steve,

Thank you for your quick answer.

I have tried to implement your solution, but the simulation crushed with the following error message:

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::out_of_range'
  what():  vector::_M_range_check: __n (which is 18446744073709551615) >= this->size() (which is 1)
Aborted (core dumped)

If I remove the source from the simulation, the error doesn't appear.

Do you have any insights on the matter?

Thank you,
Ayeleth.

Hi there,

I believe there is a work around for this using the Merged Volume Actor here: https://opengate.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tools_to_interact_with_the_simulation_actors.html#merged-volume-actor

Note that the order of things is important. Once everything is in the merged volume, you can still attach other actors to separate volumes within the merged volume.

Hope it helps,
Steve

Hi dear gate users
can you guide me how can I calculate gamma index in dose outputs?is there any application to calculate 2D or 3D gamma index with these outputs?
I used dose actor in my simulation and have dose.mhd and dose.raw files.
best regards.

Hello Gate users,

I'm a novel user of GATE and I want to add a voxelized phantom to my SPECT simulation.

I try to imitate a clinical scan, where the detector should be close to the phantom/object, but there an overlapping issue between the scanner and the bounds of the phantom (which are made of air/vacuum).

I know that it's a known issue originating from GEANT4, and I have tried a few of the suggested solutions in the mailing list (splitting the phantom to multi-voxelized phantoms, and building the phantom by defining each voxel independently), but to no avail.

Has anyone found a simple workaround for the overlapping issue?

Thanks,
Ayeleth.

Dear gate users,

I need your kind cooperation in a problem that I asked about three days ago but none has answered.

I am calculating energy resolution (FWHM), to validate the gamma camera.
The way I am preceding is, I used digitizer module and saved it's output in ASCII format, from single.dat ASCII file,I extracted energy deposited and calculated FWHM (energy resolution), this value of energy resolution is same which I set in script as ;

/gate/digitizer/Singles/blurring/setResolution 0.10

My question is how can we calculate energy resolution without pre-setting it's value in script (as above) to validate the camera.

I hope someone will guide me
Thank you
