[Gate-users] attachVoxelPhantomSD experience?

[Philipp Matthies]

Hi Niels,

have you tried the dose actor as described e.g. in these examples?

https://github.com/OpenGATE/GateContrib/tree/master/dosimetry/doseactor/

Example code exerpt from
https://github.com/OpenGATE/GateContrib/blob/master/dosimetry/doseactor/voxelized-phantom/mac/DAVW.mac:

/gate/actor/addActor DoseActor DAVW1x
/gate/actor/DAVW1x/save output/DAVW1x.mhd
/gate/actor/DAVW1x/attachTo patient
/gate/actor/DAVW1x/stepHitType random
/gate/actor/DAVW1x/setResolution 299 137 10
/gate/actor/DAVW1x/enableDose true
/gate/actor/DAVW1x/enableSquaredDose true
/gate/actor/DAVW1x/enableUncertaintyDose true
/gate/actor/DAVW1x/setDoseAlgorithm VolumeWeighting # Not mandatory,
algorithm used by default

Best regards,
Philipp
