Hi Dave, Thanks for your answer. I followed your instructions and filled the XML file with the Aspire Cristalle characteristics (file attached). I could not change the value to the following parameters, because I did not understand them enough. Could you give me a hint about their definitions? In the <projector_config> field <elec_noise>3.0<elec_noise> is it the standard deviation of the image with the detector shielded? <gain>0.2<gain> <prop_const>0.0038<prop_const> </prop_const></prop_const></gain></gain></elec_noise></elec_noise></projector_config>...

Dear OpenVCT developers, Your comments have been very useful to me. I learned how to run the XPLRayTracing software with the anthropomorphic phantoms and some simple geometrical phantoms. Now I want to match the simulation, as close as possible, to a real mammography unit (model Aspire Cristalle, Fujifilm). Could you tell me how to transform the average pixel value in the simulated image to the detector dose?

Dear OpenVCT administrators, Thank you for sharing OpenVCT. Is there any software to build simple phantoms in .vctx format? For example, a block with a cylindrical hole for CNR measurements or an edge for MTF. If there is none, could you share a description of the .vctx format to make the phantom using Matlab?
