[Gate-users] Issues on material overlap in dose calculations based on CT images

[boram Lee]

Hi Gate users


I often did dose calculation simulations based on CT images.


However, I recently ran into a problem and haven't found a solution yet.


I use the data converted from DCM to analyzer format. And we want to create
a daughter volume in it and proceed with the calculation with foreign
substances inserted.

(For example, inserting gold into the body)


But I can't find an explanation on how to do it in the manual.


I'd like to ask the experts if they have any solutions to this problem.



- test code

/gate/test_lead/vis/setColor                    blue
/gate/test_lead/vis/setVisible                  1



I have changed a lot of parameters but I am still having the problem.
