    <p>Dear Emanuele,</p>
    <p>You can enable the verbose to see the progression of the
      sensitivity image generation (add the following option : -vb 2)<br>
    </p>
    <p>This computation performs a dual loop on all the detector
      elements to compute all possible lines of response, depending on
      the potential angle restrictions in the geometry file and
      datafile. So the duration will mostly depend on the total number
      of detectors and the image dimensions.<br>
    </p>
    <p>Once the sensitivity image is computed, it could be re-used for
      other reconstructions (provided these reconstructions use the same
      dimensions, projectors and image-based operations such as psf,
      etc..) using the option -sens sensitivity_file.hdr.</p>
    <p>I will forward this answer to our user mailing-list as this is a
      question that other users could potentially have.</p>
    <p>Best,<br>
      Thibaut<br>

      <div class="">many thanks again for your precious answers. I
