"killed" message after some days run

Dear CASToR users

I ran a program but after some days I found “killed” message and only sensitivity.img has produced. What is the reason for this error? I used CASTOR_v3
Did anyone face the same error?
Thank you

Hi,

I would say that the kill should not be directly related to CASToR execution, as the kill is an operation performed by the operating system or the user. Your sensitivity image is really big, which might explain the time, but you can relaunch your recon with the computed sensitivity image given in input, so as not to calculate it again.

Hi Marina
Thank you for responding.
How can I relaunch it without recomputing sensitivity?
Thank you

See

castor-recon -help-in

There is the -sens option, to which you should provide the sensitivity image header

Thank you so much.
