[Gate-users] Precision of the GATE Simulation

[Loic Grevillot]

Hi,

for dose calculation you can enable uncertainty calculation:
/gate/actor/[Actor Name]/enableUncertaintyDose  true
see
http://wiki.opengatecollaboration.org/index.php/Users_Guide_V6.2:Readout_parameters_for_Radiotherapy_applications:_Actors

You can also repeat several time a simulation and calculate the standard
deviation.
