[Gate-users] Voxelized source and phantom in benchImageNavigators

Mon Mar 2 21:10:27 CET 2020

Thanks, Emilie for your quick reply.
I am using amide as the viewer. I also doubted the correctness of header
file brain_phantom.h33 (especially the dimensions). But all these files
cames with the installation of GATE v8. Meanwhile, brain_phantom.h33 is a
binary file, I don't know how to convert it into ASCII file to read its
content inside. Could you please give me any further help? Have you got the
example work with its own data?

Thanks a lot
Zhengzhi
