GATE
GATE is open source, based on Geant4, and developed by the international OpenGATE collaboration
GATE 10 (Nov 2024) introduces a Python interface, enhancing flexibility and integration for your Monte Carlo simulations. This update marks a significant leap forward in radiation physics applications across medical, space, and radioprotection fields.
It currently supports simulations of Emission Tomography (Positron Emission Tomography - PET and Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography - SPECT), Computed Tomography (CT), Optical Imaging (Bioluminescence and Fluorescence) and Radiotherapy experiments. Using an easy-to-learn macro mechanism to configurate simple or highly sophisticated experimental settings, GATE now plays a key role in the design of new medical imaging devices, in the optimization of acquisition protocols and in the development and assessment of image reconstruction algorithms and correction techniques. It can also be used for dose calculation in radiation therapy, brachytherapy or any other application.
