<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Gate Users,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have been working to reconstruct a SPECT based detection system in STIR by inputting the projection .sin and .hdr output files directly into stir and reconstructing the image.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">There have been some very good presentations on how to perform this task, namely, the 2018 IEEE NSS/MIC talk by Han Gyu Kang 'Image reconstruction of GATE SPECT simulation using STIR'.
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Following his methods, i am finding that my reconstructed images are always of low quality and are of point source geometry. I cannot reconstruct any decent images of an actual source geometry (volume source cylinder).</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I was wondering, if anyone who has experience with this task would be willing to provide example files of: the GATE macro file, STIR spect interfile and the .hv and .v output files from the reconstruction.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have tried many different designs/reconstructions and have not had much luck.
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If anyone has any experience with reconstruction of GATE output in STIR i was wondering if they could please provide suggestions.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As always thanks all and i appreciate all help,</p>
