[Gate-users] SiPM Simulation in PET Systems

[maryam darami]

Dear GATE experts,

My name is Maryam Darami, a MSc student of medical physics at the Tabriz university of medical science, Tabriz, Iran.
I'm a beginner in vGATE 8.1 and I have tendency to work on PET system simulation, while I have no experience in this context!  

I desire to simulate a LYSO crystal coupled with SiPM array, but I have some questions.


For example: 

1. What kind of changes to the digitizer mac file do I need to simulate the SiPM array instead of PMT? 

2. Do I have to use optical simulation to simulate it?

3. If I should use it, how can I run optical simulation in vGATE 8.1?


I would be most grateful if you help me about that. I look forward to hearing from you.


Best regards, 

Maryam Darami
