一个同事关于Gate的解释

我问同事在Gate里如何模拟不同系统对crystal-PMT结构的不同设计, 他的回答是:

Gate simulates the gamma photon tracking in the crystals and uses models for the other parts (electronics/readout) so there is not really a model for
PMT behaviour. What you can do for continuous crystals, is to use the spatialblurrer (but double check the code, if I understand well there is some problem in it). For pixelated (at least in PET), I believe they take the crystal with the max energy deposit.
