Description

Monaco RTP System Used to make treatment plans for patients with prescriptions for external beam radiation therapy.

Reason

In a specific workflow where contours are edited (enlarged, moved, copied, etc.) and then the contour is deleted on some slices and saved in the same session, it is possible that the deleted contours are still present which would not be the intent of the planner.
