[Gate-users] Dose Actor Voxels?

All,

Can you explain how the voxel size and number impacts the calculated dose by the doseActor?
I have simulated a 1 liter cube of water containing 0.01 mCi of 18F positrons. When I enable the doseActor using 1000 voxels each 1cm^3, I get a total of 2.43E-05 Gy. However, if I enable the doseActor using only 1 voxel of size 10cm^3, I get a dose of 2.43E-02 Gy.

I get the same total energy deposited no matter the voxel size and number, why not dose?
