We present the first open-source version of STIR-GATE-Connection, a project that aims to provide an easy-to-use pipeline to simulate realistic PET data using GATE, followed by quantitative reconstruction using STIR. Monte Carlo simulations and image reconstruction are powerful research tools for emission tomography that can assist with the design of new medical imaging devices as well as the evaluation of novel image reconstruction algorithms and various correction techniques. STIR-GATE-Connection is a collection of scripts that aid with the: (i) setup of a realistic GATE simulation of a voxelised phantom using a user selected scanner configuration, (ii) conversion of the output list mode data into STIR compatible sinograms, and (iii) computation of additive and multiplicative data corrections for Poisson image reconstruction using STIR. In this work, we demonstrate example usage of these steps.
