    "abstract": "Monte Carlo simulation is an essential tool in emission tomography that can\nassist in the design of new medical imaging devices, the optimization of\nacquisition protocols, and the development or assessment of image\nreconstruction algorithms and correction techniques. GATE, the Geant4\nApplication for Tomographic Emission, encapsulates the Geant4 libraries to\nachieve a modular, versatile, scripted simulation toolkit adapted to the field\nof nuclear medicine. In particular, GATE allows the description of\ntime-dependent phenomena such as source or detector movement, and source decay\nkinetics. This feature makes it possible to simulate time curves under\nrealistic acquisition conditions and to test dynamic reconstruction algorithms.\nA public release of GATE licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License\ncan be downloaded at the address http://www-lphe.epfl.ch/GATE/.",
