When the TPS plan text file contains just one "field", and the user disables that field with the `"setNotAllowedFieldID"` option of the `TPSPencilBeam` actor, then the `TPSPencilBeam` actor runs into...

HU to material/density conversion needs to be more robust

1

When an input CT image has CT values out of the range of the Schneider table then Gate just crashes with an error. Normal behavior in a commercial Treatment Planning...

TPS PencilBeam source crashes on old source properties files

1

A recent update to the `TPSPencilBeam` source changed the parsing of the source properties files, it is now expecting to find the beam monitor calibration N/MU at the end. If...

release version number should not be hardcoded in C++ code

2

And it should especially not be hardcoded several times, because then we run the risk of embarrassing mistakes like the one reported by Adam on the gate-users maling list: http://lists.opengatecollaboration.org/pipermail/gate-users/2018-April/010202.html...

stack smashing

2

It is too easy to crash gate with a "stack smashing" error. For instance, a guest researcher here in our lab uses the alias system to define things like pathnames...

need to update CUDA compute capabilities in CMakeLists.txt

2

Today I read on `gate-users`, mail by Bryan McIntosh: > I had a similar issue with my GTX 980, and the problem lies in the file CMakeLists.txt that is in...

RNG seeding

2

While answering a user question about random number generation, I came across these lines: https://github.com/OpenGATE/Gate/blob/develop/source/general/src/GateRandomEngine.cc#L154 ``` // use clhep engine to initialize other engine std::srand(static_cast(*theRandomEngine)); srandom(static_cast(*theRandomEngine)); #ifdef G4ANALYSIS_USE_ROOT gRandom->SetSeed(static_cast(*theRandomEngine)); #endif...

Use sparse matrices for dose actor?

8

I think that a large part of the memory foot print in radiotherapy simulations comes from the dose actor. Often we want the dose distribution with a high resolution but...

linac beam source

8

The linac beam source as implemented in `GateSourceLinacBeam.cc` needs work. (1) It depends on a ROOT input file with a few thousand histograms. This ROOT input file can be generated...

dose actor attached to patient CT data (ImageNestedParametrisedVolume)

15

When I tried to configure my dose actor such that the dosel geometry would be the same as the patient voxel geometry by setting the same voxelsize, I got a...
