<p>Dear all,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>we try to perform simulations of different detectors with Gate and have some problems when scoring dose and edep in different volumes, perhaps anyone can help us with these issues:</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>- When we score dose and edep in a gate constructed geometry and in the same CAD geometry we obtain different results with different orders of magnitude (even in rectangular geometries).</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>- When we score dose and edep in non rectangular geometries we cannot recalculate the dose out of edep and it seems that the dose in Gate is calculated by a geometry surrounding the real geometry but having rectangular corners, e.g. for a sphere of radius
0.5 cm the dose can be recalculated out of edep by a cube with side length 1 cm.
<br>
</p>

<p>We would be very thankful for any help!</p>

</p>
<p>Kind regards <br>
