    Description

    AdvantageSim MD versions 7.4 through 7.6, Model 5160092. AdvantageSim MD is used to prepare geometric and anatomical data relating to a proposed external beam radiotherapy treatment prior to dosimetry planning.

    Reason

    It was reported by a customer site that when using Advantage Sim MD on Advantage Workstation, the series could be incorrectly labeled in image view when multiple series of an exam are loaded simultaneously in Advantage Sim MD and if their series dates are different. A mismatch of series label for structure sets may lead to under-treatment of a tumor due to too small coverage of volume treated.
