Abstract

In this paper, a simple procedure of exceptional geometrical form simulation is designed by using GATE (Geant4 application tomography emission) software packages. The phantom used, has an unusual geometry, which makes the acquisition of images and their reconstruction more complicated. The results obtained show that signal-to-noise ration (SNR) of sinograms and images, resolution spatial and lines profile are almost perfect.
