Hello

I would ask, what is it used by the gate formalism to define dose.

that ecuaiones used, and I would like to ask how to define a source of
yttrium-90, by voxelized

when I run the program runs fine but I get no results in dose.

I could help

The attempt to define a typo ion source, but I get no result of dose
or coincidence. I define it as:

# V O X E L   S O U R C E   B A S E D  O N   T H E   H O F F M A N   B
R A I N   P H A N T O M
