GateContrib

(Warning: this is yet a tentative & experimental Gate sub-project. Contributions and suggestions welcome)

Gate, based on Geant4 library, allows to perform various Monte-Carlo simulations in the field of medical physics. Gate can be used in numerous ways and for a lot of different applications. This repository contains Gate simulation examples, mostly provided by users, in order to help sharing knowledge.

Warning - This repository contains data (binary files), stored with git-lfs extension. Find below a step-by-step tutorial to install git-lfs:

  1. Download the Git LFS extension for versioning large files
  2. Untar, install and set up the Git command line extension
    tar -xzf git-lfs-linux-amd64-2.0.1.tar.gz
    cd git-lfs-2.0.1
    sudo ./install.sh
    If your installation was succesful, your terminal should display the following message:
    Git LFS initialized
    Note that you only have to set up Git LFS once.
  1. Clone the Gate user-oriented repository as usual
    git clone https://github.com/OpenGATE/GateContrib.git
    Note that the git lfs clone https://github.com/OpenGATE/GateContrib.git command operates exactly like git clone and takes all the same arguments, but has one important difference: it's a lot faster! Depending on the number of files you have it can be more than 10x faster in fact.
    The output of the executing commande should be:
    Cloning into 'GateContrib'...
    remote: Counting objects: 21076, done.
    remote: Compressing objects: 100% (61/61), done.
    remote: Total 21076 (delta 36), reused 0 (delta 0), pack-reused 21012

How to contribute ?

  • Prepare your example as a pull-request. Clone this repository in your github account, commit your example in your cloned repository, then ask us to integrate your proposal via the "New pull request" button.
  • Your simulation must be in a separate folder. You can put it in the folder imaging or dosimetry or misc.
  • Example must contains:
    • a readme.md file that describe the example, the authors, the date and Gate version
    • 3 folders mac/ data/ output/. The first will contains all macros (.mac files), the second all data files needed as input for the simulations. Results should be written in the output/ folder.
    • Simulation should be run by a command such as Gate mac/main.mac
  • It is also possible to contribute via analysis tools. If you developed a killer python script or C++ code useful for Gate simulation, feel free to share it here !
