How to convert normalization factor

General Discussions

Dear CASToR users and developers

I simulated a uniform phantom to calculate the normalization factor. How can I convert it (Root file) to Castor normalization data file? Based on the benchmark I need .cdh and .cdf related to normalization factors to feed to the castor-recon.

Thank you so much for your advance help.

You can generate cdf and cdh file using SIMIND

Thank you for your answer. Sorry, I forgot to write that I am using PET.

Hi Hadi,

The GATE converter does not currently include tools to generate the normalization datafile, so you must do it manually.
There is a discussion on this matter here: Formula of normalization when using GATE simulation data

Hope this helps,
Thibaut
