[Gate-users] Volume IDs for Generic "Scanner" System

Mon Oct 28 15:39:01 CET 2019

Hi Emilie, thank you for taking time to help me. First, you are right, I will end up using phantom detectors and dose actors, but I just wanted to make the most simple macro I could to start with.

I added commands to attach the SDs to the system. Full code attached, but here is what I added:

####################
# Attach System
####################
/gate/systems/BoxB1/level1/attach BoxB1
/gate/systems/BoxB1/level2/attach BoxB2a
/gate/systems/BoxB1/level3/attach BoxB2b

I am still getting all zero in the Volume ID columns of the singles file.
Maybe because I only have one volume attached to each level the volume IDs are zero?

When I try to attach Both SDs to level2, I get the following error, but I still get singles reported for each SD!

[systems/scanner/level2::IsValidAttachmentRequest]:
        A volume creator ('BoxB2a') is already attached to this system component
[systems/scanner/level2::SetInserter]:
        Ignoring attachment request

*This is a add-on of my previous message*

Are you using your sensitive volume right ?
Looking at your code, and because you want to do dosimetry, it seems you need to attach your volume as phantomSD and not crystalSD.

The difference between the two sensitive volume are explained here:
https://opengate.readthedocs.io/en/latest/sensitive_detector_concept.html

Also, you don't need to re-forward your message. Let us some time to read/think about your problem ...

Hello all,

Does anyone have an idea about this? How to get volume IDs for singles when using a generic "scanner" system type?

Subject: Volume IDs for Generic "Scanner" System

All - I am completely stuck.
I'm using a generic "scanner" system type, and would like to have multiple sensitive detectors in a mother volume for internal dosimetry.

If I have two SDs as daughters of the "world", all is OK - I get a singles output file with 0 or 1 in column 7 and 0 for columns 8 through 12 (easily telling me which SD registered the single).

If, however, I have a volume in the world with the two SDs inside it (and daughters of it instead of being daughters of the "world"), I get 0 for all columns 7-12. The simulation does record singles to each SD (based on coordinates), but it just doesn't tell me which volume ID each single is for!

I have attached simple sample code below as well as the output from the singles file.

Any help would be great! Thank you,
Josh

Hi Josh,

You didn't attached your geometry in your system.
Everything is explained here section 1.3 :
https://opengate.readthedocs.io/en/latest/defining_a_system_scanner_ct_pet_spect_optical.html#different-types-of-systems

Basically your need to put this line at the end of your geometry definition (and before attaching your sensitive detector) for each levels of your system:

systems/SystemName/Level/attach UserVolumeName

for example in your system:

systems/scanner/level1/attach Box1B

systems/scanner/level2/attach BoxB2a

systems/scanner/level3/attach BoxB2b

Good luck,

Emilie
