The SIMIND system has two main programs, named
CHANGE and SIMIND. The CHANGE
program provides a way of defining the system to be simulated and writing data to
external data files.
The actual Monte Carlo simulation is made by the program SIMIND that reads input files
created by CHANGE and outputs results to the screen or to different data files. In this
way, several input files can be prepared and loaded into a command file for submission
to a batch queue, a convenient way of working since Monte Carlo simulations by
default are time consuming
This manual explains, in detail, the structure and purpose of SIMIND and all enclosed
subroutines that are important for the user to understand, and offers technical
instruction in programming the code for specific applications.
A primitive outline of topics addressed herein include an in-depth description of
SIMIND's subroutine files, manipulation of gamma camera parameters, implementation of
phantoms, the general operation of SIMIND, and instructions on acquiring planar and
SPECT images.
