[Gate-users] Significant diferences between dose calculation by Edep and Dose algorithms

[Alex Vergara Gil]

Hi all!

I have ran a patient specific SPECT-CT Study with gate and I found a
very significant differences between the dose calculated by deposited
energy algorithm (enableEdep	true) and Dose algorithm
(enableDose	true). The one with deposited energy is coherent with my
previous calculations using Convolution algorithms, anyone can explain
what is happening here? I attached two pictures and the same profile
in both of them.
