Hello,

I used the digital phantom NURBS-based Cardiac-Torso (NCAT) and   
Monte-Carlo simulations with GATE, to simulate the myocardium studies   
Gated-SPECT. But I not able to read and process the myocardial studies  
  by Quantitative Gated SPECT (QGS) Cedars-Cinai, in order to  
determine  the end-diastolic volume (EDV), the end-systolic volume  
(ESV) and the  ejection fraction (EF), since I always get the  
following message:

Please deselect un-necessary datasets to avoid such conflict.
Would you like to proceed with these datasets being discarded?

The conditions of the simulations were the following:

- Digital NCAT phantom where the heart cycle is divided into eight timeframes;
- 72 beats per minute (0,83333 cycle/sec);
- Equipment with two detectors;
- Detectors that make an angle of 101º;
- Each detector acquire a tomographic scan until 101,25º (201,5º with   
both detectors);
- 18 projections per detector (36 projections with both detectors);
- 10 seconds for each projection (as the cycle is divided into 8   
timeframes is the equivalent to having: 1,25 sec x 8 timeframes = 10   
sec).

At the end of the simulations and to build my files to be read by QGS   
I did the following:

- I added all the 1st timeframes of all the 18 projections of the   
Detector 1 and I obtained RGATE-1_001.IMG
- I added all the 1st timeframes of all the 18 projections of the   
Detector 2 and I obtained RGATE_009.IMG
- And so on ... RGATE-1_002.IMG ... until RGATE-1_016.IMG.


The File.HDR that I am using is the following:

What should I add/modify in my HDR file, so that the QGS software can   
read my files in Interfile format?

I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely yours,

Lina Vieira
