[Gate-users] Reading in tissues / organs from the Zubal phantom

[Mike Tabriz]

Dear Gate users,
 
I am trying to simulate energy distribution originating from different source organs. My final output images appear to be very illogical which makes me suspect there is a problem with the way I set up tissues / organs.
 
I am using the Zubal phantom which comes with unique index numbers for each individual tissue / organ. So the way I have associated each organ with their respective index numbers is as follows:
#=============
#zubal-HU2mat.txt
#=============
0   1   Vacuum
1   2   Skin
2   3   Brain
3   4   SpinalCord
4   5   Skull
5   6   Spine
6   7   RibCage
7   8   Pelvis
.
.
.
My question is whether this is the right way of reading in the organs and if not whether you could make a suggestion as to how I can correctly identify these tissues so that GATE recognizes them.

 
Thank you in advance.
