 # MC-GPU_v1.5b: VICTRE pivotal study simulations
 
 This version of MC-GPU was developed exclusively to replicate as realistically as possible a Siemens Mammomat Inspiration system for the Virtual Imaging Clinical Trial for Regulatory Evaluation (VICTRE) project.

 - Optional anti-scatter grid model.
 - Amorphous Selenium direct detector model: depth of interaction, fluorescence escape, charge generation, Swank factor, electronic noise.
 - Voxelized phantoms stored in memory usig a binary tree structure to save memory.
