Dear GATE users,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I am simulating a cylindricalPET system around a patient. The scanner is quite close to the patient and so the voxelised phantom will very often overlap the scanner, typically where the voxels correspond to air. Using the mumap actor I can see
this overlap, leading to missing detector segments, and in the root output I can see that these missing segments do not receive any hits.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">If I crop the CT then I am trying to fit a square into a circle, and I lose sections of the patient CT.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I have tried reordering the scanner -> patient -> source definitions to see if hierarchy matters, but it appears that the overlap occurs anyway.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">What is the best way to solve this issue?</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Thanks for your help,</div>
<div class="">Keegan</div>
