TL;DR: A detailed description of the design and development of GATE is given by the OpenGATE collaboration, whose continuing objective is to improve, document and validate GATE by simulating commercially available imaging systems for PET and SPECT.

TL;DR: An overview of the main additions and improvements implemented in GATE since the publication of the initial GATE paper is presented, which includes new models available to simulate optical and hadronic processes, novelties in modelling tracer, organ or detector motion, new options for speeding up GATE simulations, and preliminary results regarding the validation of GATE V6 for radiation therapy applications.

TL;DR: This paper presents the most recent review of the Geant4-DNA extension, as available to Geant 4 users since June 2015 (release 10.2 Beta), and includes the description of new physical models for thedescription of electron elastic and inelastic interactions in liquid water, as well as new examples dedicated to the simulation of physicochemical and chemical stages of water radiolysis.

TL;DR: The authors' review the applicability of the open-source GATE Monte Carlo simulation platform based on the GEANT4 toolkit for radiation therapy and dosimetry applications and the computational times associated with several applications are provided to illustrate the practical feasibility of the simulations using current computing facilities.

TL;DR: GATE as mentioned in this paper is a Monte Carlo simulation toolkit for emission tomography that can assist in the design of new medical imaging devices, the optimization of acquisition protocols, and the development or assessment of image reconstruction algorithms and correction techniques.
