[Castor-users] Simulation PET Scan

[Aziza Zendour]

Hello all,
I hope you are well.
I am actually preparing my final project of the year, is about Modeling and
simulation of PET Scan with GATE.
I chose "Ge STE PET/CT Scan" as a model but I still have a problem.
I don't understand how I will evaluate my simulation, what parameters
should I calculate to say that my simulation is correct?



Thanks in advance.
Cordially.

We organized two groups of Cdh&Cdf files followed CASToR input datafile format, for non-TOF and TOF reconstruction respectively. Two recon images are shown in "non-TOF recon.png" & "141ps TOF recon.png" images as presented in the attachment. But I found out that there is almost no attenuation that can be seen in the "141ps TOF recon.png" image compared to "non-TOF recon.png". From the image profiles in "profile.png", it can be seen from the non-TOF recon image that the central area has obvious count attenuation, while the TOF recon image shows no sign of attenuation. I am curious about why because I applied no additional "-atn XXXX.hdr" attenuation correction when running castor-recon for TOF reconstruction.

The TOF recon datafile  header "BrainPET_IEC_F18_3sphere1_5p3c_TOF141p42ps.Cdh" is also submitted in the attechment.
