[Gate-users] Reconstructing an image from root output (cylindrical PET)

Dear GATE users,
I would like to reconstruct an image from the root output of a cylindrical
PET simulation in GATE. I have used the geometry for the GE Discovery 690
scanner available here:
https://github.com/UCL/STIR-GATE-Connection/tree/master/ExampleScanners/D690
I inserted a water phantom with a cylindrical volume source of F18 (1 MBq)
at its centre. A 10s acquisition produced ~40 000 coincidences.
I am using the Bin_GATE_v1.0 script, modifying the parameters to match this
scanner (GATEPET2STIR does not recognise my root output). I was able to
obtain Proj and Mich files (.s) from this, and produced a corresponding
header file (.hs) using the create_projdata_template utility in STIR.
However, FBP2D reconstruction of this in STIR does not produce the expected
image.
I would appreciate any help identifying where the error may have occurred.
Do I have the correct parameters for the above configuration?
#define N_RINGS 24 // DLS: Number of rings
#define N_SEG 47 // DLS: Number of segments (2
N_RINGS - 1)
#define N_DET 576 // DLS: Detectors per ring
#define S_WIDTH 381 // DLS: Number of radial sinogram
bins
#define N_RSEC 32 // DLS: Number of rsector
#define N_MODULE 1 // DLS: Number of modules
#define N_MOD_xy 1 // DLS: Number of tangential
modules
#define N_MOD_z 1 // DLS: Number of axial modules
#define N_SUBMOD 8 // DLS: Number of submodules
#define N_SMOD_xy 2 // DLS: Number of tangential
submodules
#define N_SMOD_z 4 // DLS: Number of axial submodules
#define N_CRYSTAL 54 // DLS: Number of crystals
#define N_CRY_xy 9 // DLS: Number of tangential
crystals
#define N_CRY_z 6 // DLS: Number of axial crystals
#define MAX_D_RING 23 // DLS: Maximum ring difference
#define N_PLANES 576.16 // DLS: Total number of sinograms
#define FOV 157 // DLS: Width of the FOV (mm)
#define SLICES_PER_FOV 47 // DLS: Number of slices per FOV
#define USE_OFFSET 0 // DLS: On/Off use of offset
#define OFFSET 0 // DLS: Sets initial sinogram angle
I have shared simulation and reconstruction files here: <
