Overview

In Gate, simulations are organized in a folder, with the following subfolders : data, mac and output. Macros files are stored in mac. Gate must be run in the initial simulation folder, such as : Gate mac/main.mac (don't forget the mac/). The macros that make use of data must refer to the data/ subfolder.

The source code for the exercices below are in the folder simulations/

To start the analysis with python notebook:

• Go in the folder simulations/ipynb
• Start notebook server with: jupyter notebook
• Connect you browser to: http://localhost:8889/tree

Exercices about dose

• Exercice 1: photon beam, dose in water, 2D
• Exercice 2: photon beam, 3D dose map in 3D CT image
• Exercice 3: proton beam
• Exercice 4: simulation of a LINAC, phase-space concept
• Exercice 5: internal radiation therapy (dosimetry)

Exercices about imaging

• Exercice 6: SPECT imaging
• Exercice 7: PET imaging

Exercices about Variance Reduction Techniques (VRT)

• Exercice 8: Track Length Estimator, dose for low energy photon (<1 MeV)
• Exercice 9: ConeBeam CT imaging with Fixed Forced Detection technique
