Try to debug this first with an image reader application such as imageJ or amide.

<div dir="ltr">Dear Emilie,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thank you very much for your help. You are right that <b>interfileReader</b> is deprecated now, and using
<b>imageReader</b> would partially solve the problem in the <a href="https://can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2FOpenGATE%2FGate%2Ftree%2Fdevelop%2Fbenchmarks%2FbenchImageNavigators%2Fpet&data=02%7C01%7CEmilie.Odette.Gaudin%40usherbrooke.ca%7C68d48b2e48cc41b1c4cc08d7bee19fe7%7C3a5a8744593545f99423b32c3a5de082%7C0%7C0%7C637187748578955552&sdata=ujIvdsBZkOnPYFUlI7uec1hnn8aW1X0nw2czwNjnipM%3D&reserved=0" target="_blank">
example</a> (Gate/benchmarks/benchImagenvators/pet). However, even after switching to imageReader, I still couldn't get the example work. It failed opening brain_phantom.i33 for reading. Could you please have a look at the attached voxlizedSource.mac and error
message to locate my mistake? </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>However, when I used brain_phantom.hmd in the voxlizedSource.mac, then everything worked fine. I attached a 3D rending of the brain_phantom.i33, it does not look like a brain phantom source, does it? </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Greatly appreciate your help.</div>

Here is some working code for a typical phantom. Be careful of the path in your code and in your image header and everything should be fine.</div>

<b>Objet :</b> [Gate-users] Voxelized source and phantom in benchImageNavigators</font>

<div>
<div dir="ltr">Dear Han Gyu, Howard, and Gate users,
<div><br>
<div>(I noticed from the previous emails that you two are using voxelized source and phantom, thus I send this email to you. )</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<div>I tried to import voxelized source and phantom in PET GATE simulation by following the <a href="https://can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2FOpenGATE%2FGate%2Ftree%2Fdevelop%2Fbenchmarks%2FbenchImageNavigators%2Fpet&data=02%7C01%7CEmilie.Odette.Gaudin%40usherbrooke.ca%7C68d48b2e48cc41b1c4cc08d7bee19fe7%7C3a5a8744593545f99423b32c3a5de082%7C0%7C0%7C637187748578965547&sdata=zKu09jeaeGNaE230HanKyYi1nh92EMc3QVUnY1uUSZY%3D&reserved=0" target="_blank">benchImageNavigators</a>
example provided in GATE 8.2 package. However, I can't even get example code work. I have two problems with the example code: <br>
</div>
<div>
<ol>
<li>Visualization issue: the qt viewer would automatically close and leaves me no time to visually check the voxelized source or voxelized phantom;</li><li>Running issue: the example can't run and keep throwing the warning message as shown in the attached screenshot, and no actual output is generated but an empty root file. </li></ol>
<div>I believe importing PET/CT image has become very mature in GATE simulation. Could anyone give any help with running this example code? </div>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am very appreciative of your help. </div>
