[Gate-users] XCAT phantom

[Yicheng Liang]

Hi gate users:

Has anyone managed to load the XCAT phantom into GATE? First I tried to 
use ImageJ to covert  raw binary image (32 bits float) to (16 bits 
unsigned integer). Then I used "xmedcon" to convert the  unsigned 
integer binary to interfile.

Here is what the error looks like:

'nrecognised type name 'signed integer

  Header read from       'm000-female_atn_1.h33'
