[Gate-users] Implementing greater than 3 "clusters" in CTscanner

[Didier Benoit]

Hi Nick,

I've developped the 3 clusters 3 years ago for a special CT. I hadn't 
found another system to design my detector. If you want more boards the 
only way is to modify the code. The files to modify are 
GateToImageCT.cc, GateToImageCT.hh, GateCTScannerSystem.cc and 
GateCTScannerSystem.hh.
I don't know how is your detector but maybe you can simulate a big 
sensitive volume and pixelized your detector at the end when you analyze 
your output. For that a scanner system is good.

Kind regards,
Didier Benoit
