[Gate-users] Further documentation of output images created by the FixedForcedDetection Actor

[Lukas Gromann]

Dear all,

I am currently learning how to use Gate for my PHD project in medical x-rax imaging.

I would like to simulate the Compton scatter fraction in a simple Thorax x-ray. I started by using the example_CT/fixedForcedDetectionCT, which looks like the thing I am looking for. Unfortunately I cannot find any documentation, what is actually the content of the outputfiles created by the FixedForcedDetection actor. What does the numbers in the various images represent? What is the purpose of the flatfield file?
Any kind of additional documentation/information would be very welcome!

On the other hand, is there maybe a much better approach to determine Compton scatter fractions in my images than using the FFD actor?

Thanks for your help,

Lukas
