[Gate-users] Voxelized source

[Ismet Isnaini]

Hi, Thanks for the reply.. 

yes, I have tried different kind of ratio... 
1Kbq point source with background of 1Bq, but the result is the same.
( I also read in the documentation, that the background shouldNOT be zero, is 
that right?)

What I mean is I could not see the point source, not the background.
All the background seems to have high activity.. the image / sinogram is just an 
uniform square

 

I am using an ASCII file for the input file, with a linear translator of 1Bq per 
voxel as the scale.

Could you please explain the effect of total activity in the Voxelized input 
file in relation to the activity of individual voxel ???

regards

Hi Ismet,

You set a point/background ratio of 10000 ! it is probably the reason why you do 
not see the background in your projection.
Did you try to set a background activity of 1kBq, so that you get a ratio of 10 
?

Cheers,
Simon
