GATE - Geant4 Simulation Application for Tomographic Emission

http://www-lphe.epfl.ch/~PET/research/gate/

Summary Assembled by Curation Team

Software: Simulation Application
GATE takes advantage of the Geant4 simulation toolkit using approximately 200 C++ classes from this toolkit. The mechanisms used to manage the time, geometry, and data output form a core layer of C++ classes that are close to those of the Geant4 kernel. In addition, an application layer allows the implementation of user classes derived from the core layer classes. So long as the application layer contains appropriate features, the use of GATE does not require any C++ programming. This is due to a dedicated scripting mechanism that extends the native command interpreter of Geant4. The GATE source code resides in a CVS repository maintained by the OpenGATE Collaboration. Documentation supports the simulation toolkit including installation and user guides, online source code documentation via doxygen, and a list of frequently asked questions (FAQs). In addition, two benchmarks have been developed for PET and SPECT to check the installation of GATE and as a tutorial for the users. The code, documentation, and benchmarks are available from the restricted GATE users web site. Moreover, the e-mails exchanged on the user mailing list, and the FAQs are stored and directly accessible on these private web pages.
