[Gate-users] Hoffman Brain Phantom

[Xinjie Cao]

If you are doing any real experiments with the Hoffman brain phantom, I
believe you can get the original digital version of the phantom image from
the manufacturer, and then you can convert it to the specific format for
simulations. And that should be exactly the same version as the physical
one you are using for experiments, no matter in size or resolution.

Best,
Xinjie
