* Description     : Geant4 Application for Emission Tomography

GATE incorporates the Geant4 libraries in a modular, versatile, and
scripted simulation toolkit which is adapted to the field of nuclear
medicine both in PET (Positron Emission Tomography) and SPECT (Single
Photon Emission Computer Tomography). It allows the accurate description
of time-dependent phenomena such as source or detector movement and
source decay kinetics. The ability to synchronize all time-dependent
components allows a coherent description of the acquisition process. It
makes it possible to perform realistic simulations of data acquisitions
in time.
