[gate-users] using ECAT7 output of gate in STIR

[Kris Thielemans]

Hi

I'd suggest that you ask STIR questions on the STIR mailing list. More
chance of getting a reply there! (And less chance of getting a gate-user fed
up with all these STIR questions)

> ProjData::read_from_file could not read projection data
> Your_Ecat_File.S.
> Unsupported file format? Aborting.
> Abort

You should read the STIR User's Guide on how to add ECAT7 support to STIR.
You need to get the Louvain la Neuve matrix library from Merence Sibomana et
al.

you will then have to 'make clear' STIR, and 'make' it again.

if it's a single frame, no. If multiple frames, you currently have to do
'ifheaders_for_ecat7'.

I hope somebody of the 3 groups who have the code can give us more info
about this.
