Recalled Product
syngo.via RT Image Suite with software versions syngo.via VB30 or VB40
Hazard / Issue
If the user modifies for any reason (e.g. reduction of artifacts) the original image orientation of a standard MR protocol to acquire images in a different orientation for further processing in Synthetic CT , the software does not recognize the adapted acquisition plane. This may result in images with wrong geometry. When this distortion remains unnoticed and the images are subsequently exported to a treatment planning system (TPS), an incorrect calculated radiation treatment plan cannot be excluded. The occurence of this issue is very unlikely and has never been reported so far.
