[Gate-users] Edep image output

[thibaultmauxion]

Hi Mike, 

Just had a quick look but  seems you have a "geometry vs source" issue. 
The origin of the scale for the voxelized source is not set in the center of the geometry but at one corner (never remember which one). 
To match both scales, you need to shift your voxelized source by half of its total dimension using SetPosition) 

for more info, see http://wiki.opengatecollaboration.org/index.php/Users_Guide_V6:Voxelized_Source_and_Phantom 
under voxelized source section. 

I would also make sure the size of the voxels is consistent for the geometry and the voxelized source. 

Hope this helps

Capture 5 shows the Edep image output file at the same exact slice. What is curious about this output image is that the head appears to be embedded in the lungs!
