Dear Gaters,
I have a problem.
I want to simulate the sensitivity of the PET. I am using the NEMA NU
2-2007.
I use a source F-18 inside five cylinders. Therefore, I have the following
code:

#    CYLINDER 5
/gate/world/daughters/name                 phantom5
/gate/world/daughters/insert                 cylinder

/gate/source/F18CylinderSource/gps/centre         0. 0. 0. cm
/gate/source/list

According to the photo, emissions occur only in the center of the source.
But i think that events should be seen throughout the source continuously
and uniformly. Can you do it?
Thanks,
Lorena
