Abstract: EduGATE is a collection of basic examples to introduce students to the fundamental physical aspects of medical imaging devices. It is based on the GATE platform, which has received a wide acceptance in the field of simulating medical imaging devices including SPECT, PET, CT and also applications in radiation therapy. GATE can be configured by commands, which are, for the sake of simplicity, listed in a collection of one or more macro files to set up phantoms, multiple types of sources, detection device, and acquisition parameters. The aim of the EduGATE is to use all these helpful features of GATE to provide insights into the physics of medical imaging by means of a collection of very basic and simple GATE macros in connection with analysis programs based on ROOT, a framework for data processing. A graphical user interface to define a configuration is also included.

- 06 Jul 2020
TL;DR: This work addresses systematic data integration between large-scale eLearning systems by designing and prototyping an eLearning broker and applies the eXtreme Model-Driven Development (XMDD) paradigm, using the DIME low-code development environment for data modeling, process modeling, interface modeling and prototypes.

Capabilities of the Monte Carlo Simulation Codes for Modeling of a Small Animal SPECT Camera.
TL;DR: Comparison between simulation and experimental results showed that among these MC codes, GATE enabled to accurately model realistic SPECT system and electromagnetic physical processes, but it required more time and hardware facilities to run simulations.
Image quality and dose assessment of collimator slit width effect in SLOT-SCAN X-ray imaging system
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of the collimator slit width on patient absorbed dose and image quality was evaluated in the SLOT-SCAN imaging system, where the GATE Monte-Carlo code was used for simulation.

TL;DR: An overview of the main additions and improvements implemented in GATE since the publication of the initial GATE paper is presented, which includes new models available to simulate optical and hadronic processes, novelties in modelling tracer, organ or detector motion, new options for speeding up GATE simulations, and preliminary results regarding the validation of GATE V6 for radiation therapy applications.
PET and SPECT
TL;DR: Assessment of gene function following the completion of human genome sequencing may be done using radionuclide imaging procedures, which allows the design of new treatment modalities, such as gene therapy, which circumvent resistance mechanisms towards conventional chemotherapeutic drugs.
