That's correct (deformer). I'll put the code up on the sourceforge page today, with instructions for building and with Makefiles. I'll also include this important disclaimer: "This code has not been fully tested and is not to be considered the official distribution." However, it is made from the same code body - with newer, not-completely verified changes, most of which are simply to support cross-platform building (the same code will build and run on RedHat/CentOS, Debian/Ubuntu, and on Windows)....

Okay, we have the BreastPhantomGenerator and RayTracer programs, and a couple of utilities, but we don't have the deformer available yet. I can provide some Makefiles to build on Red Hat 7. Let me know if you're interested.

Amar, We have linux versions in development (not officially released). What Linux distribution are you interested in; for example, Debian-based, RedHat based, Ubuntu, etc.?

Hi Sebastian, The error message is claiming that the program cannot find the Breast_Phantom_Designer field in the input XML file; the field may be missing in your input file or it may be mispelled. Here's an example deformer input XML file: <?xml version="1.0" ?> <Breast_Phantom_Designer> <Deformer_Config> <Program_Name>BreastPhantomDeformer</Program_Name> <Software_Version>1.0</Software_Version> <Input_Phantom>Bowman_888076.0.656648536865.20171124102326811.vctx</Input_Phantom> <Input_Mesh>PhantomML.feb</Input_Mesh>...

Hi Amar, Yes, there is /kind of/ a limit to how small you can set the voxel size, but there really isn't a constraint on voxel size, per se. The limitation is really the number of voxels that are produced, it's a limitation on the physical and virtual memory available on your computer. Unfortunately, trial and error is likely the best method of finding the optimum combination of voxel size and phantom dimensions.

Hi Amar, Every example I have for <volume> has a value of 699:</volume> <volume>699</volume> As you observed, the parameters for Size_X, Size_Y, Size_CPrime and Size_CSecondary are indeed defined in CM.

Thanks, Amar It looks like you may have used the vct_config.xml file as a partial example. That makes sense, but the format actually is a bit different. The BreastPhantomGenerator uses both the vct_config.xml file, which must be in the current directory - and - your input XML file (it gets the Index_Table materials from the vct_config.xml file alone). Here is a fairly good template to use -/replace all the "(... goes here)" parts with your data. /Also adjust any differences you have for Ki, Kp, Ks,...

Hi Amar, I see your error message attachment but I don't see your XML file; could you send that again? BTW, the information that follows the "Couldn't read XML file Test_1.xml" message is just the default values, which are no longer used by the program. I really can't tell you much else until I see your XML file. Regards, Dave On 3/10/21 1:51 PM, Amar wrote: Hi I am Amar, a PhD student at University of Houston.
