GATE
GATE, the Geant4 application for emission tomography, is a package for making it easy to use existing Monte Carlo simulation packages according to the requirements of a simulation. GATE allows the accurate description of time-dependent phenomena such as source or detector movement and source decay kinetics. It includes well-validated physics models, geometry modeling tools accomodating complex scanner geometries, models for detector electronic response, and efficient visualization utilities. Modelling of CT scans and calculation of dose can also be performed using GATE.

Changes: Support for wedge volumes was added. Support was added for two new systems: CTscanner and OPET. A new navigator was added for voxelized phantom description to speed up the simulation. An implementation of the fictitious cross section method was added to reduce the computation time. A RecordStepping optimization was added to speed up the tracking. The Mersenne Twister Random engine is now used by default.
