!detector    <det-name>
!shape       { cuboid | sphere | cylinder } 
!position    <x,y,z>

• <det-name> specifies a unique detector name. At present only one detector per file is allowed.
  
• The !fileversion line specifies the version of this file's format.
  
• The !filedate line allows to record when the file was written (in ctime() format).
  
• The !shape line specifies the geometrical shape. At present only cuboid is supported.
  
• <position> specifies the centre coordinates (in mm) in the CT system.
  
• <size> specifies the extensions in x-, y-, and z-direction, respectively (in mm).
  
• <steps> specifies the number of "micro-voxels" into which a detector is subdivided in x-, y-, and z-direction, respectively, for signal calculation. Default is 1,1,1.
  
• <material> specifies the detector material. Note that an efficiency as well as a dE/dx table must exist for this material when the detector signal shall be calculated.
  
• The !signal line holds the signal value of the detector after calculation. It makes sense only on output, but is ignored on input.
