I am masa and new to Gate.



I would like to calculate the path length that the photon beam traverses the phantom.




For example, in the case of a 3*3 matrix phantom with a pixel size of 1mm, if a pencil beam were incident from the 12 o'clock direction, the path length at center of the matrix would be 3mm.




①: Is there an actor that measures this path length? I want the length that the beam traverses the phantom without interacting, not LET or anything like that.

②: Also, if the pixel value of the phantom is considered only by the linear attenuation coefficient of water, is there a function that calculates the line integral value?




Thank you!
