Compétences visées

The purpose of this training session is to give the participants the basics of GATE, an advanced opensource software developed by the international OpenGATE collaboration and dedicated to numerical simulations in medical imaging and radiation therapy.

  • Handling the user interface and visualization 
  • Illustrating a GATE simulation architecture: general concepts to model medical imaging acquisitions and radiation therapy experiments
  • Illustrating the main principles of GATE by going through the different simulation steps 
  • Managing anthropomorphic voxelized phantoms and sources to simulate realistic acquisitions
  • According to the trainee’s domain of expertise/interest, choose between building a complete simulation set-up for medical imaging applications or dosimetry and radiation therapy experiments
  • Perform output data analysis
  • Perform some basic development to add new features in GATE
  • Most of the time reserved for hands-on exercises on Scientific Linux workstations
  • Based on modern pedagogical approaches (active learning and flipped classroom model)
  • Detailed lectures provided by two GATE experts, both members of the OpenGATE collaboration
  • Main principles of GATE: scanner/beam and phantom geometry, materials, physics processes, source(s), actors and output data formats
  • GATE for imaging applications: system, sensitive detector and digitizer
  • GATE for dosimetry and radiation therapy applications: dose actor, phase-space actor, production cuts and variance reduction techniques
  • Using both ROOT software and Python language for dose distribution and/or PET output data analysis
  • Using C++ for creating a new actor in GATE

Attendees must have a good understanding of medical physics, and should have experiences in Linux and basic programming.
