EduGATE is a collection of basic examples to introduce students to the fundamental physical aspects of medical imaging devices. It is based on the GATE platform, which has received a wide acceptance in the field of simulating medical imaging devices including SPECT, PET, CT and also applications in radiation therapy. GATE can be configured by commands, which are, for the sake of simplicity, listed in a collection of one or more macro files to set up phantoms, multiple types of sources, detection device, and acquisition parameters. The aim of the EduGATE is to use all these helpful features of GATE to provide insights into the physics of medical imaging by means of a collection of very basic and simple GATE macros in connection with analysis programs based on ROOT, a framework for data processing. A graphical user interface to define a configuration is also included.
EduGATE 是一个基本示例的集合，旨在向学生介绍医学成像设备的基本物理方面。它基于 GATE 平台，该平台在模拟医学成像设备（包括 SPECT、PET、CT）方面得到了广泛的认可，也在放射治疗应用中得到了应用。GATE 可以通过命令进行配置，为了简单起见，这些命令列在一个或多个宏文件中，用于设置体模、多种类型的源、检测设备和采集参数。EduGATE 的目的是利用 GATE 的所有这些有用功能，通过与基于 ROOT 的分析程序（一个数据处理框架）连接的一系列非常基本和简单的 GATE 宏，提供对医学成像物理的深入了解。还包括一个用于定义配置的图形用户界面。
