You can find the Zubal phantom (MRI based 1.5 mm) here: <a href="http://noodle.med.yale.edu/zubal/data.htm">
http://noodle.med.yale.edu/zubal/data.htm</a><br>
and the BigBrain phantom (histology-based 400um) here: <a href="https://pet-mr.github.io/brain_phantom/">
https://pet-mr.github.io/brain_phantom/</a><br>
<br>
Images are already segmented, you only have to create the activity and attenuation range dat file.<br>
Be sure to convert the images in .i33 with the appropriate header .h33<br>

Thank you, Josh! We will try Zubal first and see if we good STLs.<br>
<br>
Have you used STLs objects as sources with activities assigned to them?<br>
<br>
What is the method to close STLs? Some software that you developed?<br>
<br>
Best,<br>

Dear GATE community,<br>
<br>
Tech-X is developing RSim: a cross-platform GUI facilitating running <br>
radiation transport simulations. It allows setting up simulations of GRAS:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://space-env.esa.int/index.php/geant4-radiation-analysis-for-space.html">http://space-env.esa.int/index.php/geant4-radiation-analysis-for-space.html</a>.
<br>
<br>
<br>
RSim does not come with GRAS, though, and you can get it by registering <br>
at <a href="https://essr.esa.int/register">https://essr.esa.int/register</a>.<br>
<br>
GRAS itself might not be interest for medical applications, but RSim <br>
offers geometry creation and transformation functions which can be of <br>
interest: creation of STLs from primitives and CAD (in STEP format). <br>
You also can generate tetrahedral mesh in Tetgen format. When playing <br>
with the tet meshes, be aware that we use Netgen under the hood and one <br>
needs to play with the parameters before the tet mesh generation is <br>
successful.<br>
<br>
Anyway, you are welcome to download RSim by filling out the form at <br>
<a href="https://www.txcorp.com/rsim">https://www.txcorp.com/rsim</a>.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
<br>
Svetlana<br>

Hi<br>
<br>
Is there a way to filter the particles from the IAEA phase space source, I just want the photons.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>

Hi Emilie,<br>
<br>
Thanks for your answer. I tried it and it didn't work.<br>
I don't produce output files with singles (or hits) events.<br>
I use only dose actors, so the output file contains dose or/and energy<br>
deposited.<br>
It seems it doesn't work with Actors.<br>
I found a solution using activity and time to produce more than 2 billion<br>
particles.<br>
<br>
Thanks again,<br>
Dimitris<br>
