[Gate-users] Cylindrical PET volume ID indexing convention

[Marc Chamberland]

Hi Gate users!

This question was asked two years ago on the mailing list, but I could not find any answer to it. Here is the original message: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.science.opengate.user/295/match=volume+id

The question is: what is the convention for the indexing of the volume IDs in a cylindrical PET system? For example, if my system has 2x2 detector modules (cubic repeater), which one corresponds to moduleID #1? #2? #3? Where (spatially, in the frame of reference of the world) does this indexing start? In which direction does it increase?

Any information on this would be appreciated! Thank you!
Marc
