[Gate-users] Generating scatter components into interfiles

[Allison Craig]

Dear Gate users

I am simulating a SPECT scan and my endpoint is to split the data into scatter components (e.g., primary photons, scatter in phantom etc.) and obtain interfiles for each component.  I can use the root output and with C code split this into .txt files which I am then planning on using IDL to convert to interfile.  However, I am struggling to do the same with SPECT data. I can output data from different rotation angles but I believe I am going wrong because of the x,y,z coordinates of the heads changing for each projection.

Can anyone tell me if interrogating the root files is the correct approach or if I should be using ascii files?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Allison
