| Issue: | In some treatment planning systems, you can contour more than one region of interest with the same structure name. The DICOM tags do not contain sufficient information for XVI to identify the different volumes that have the same name. Therefore, if you use DICOM RT to send these volumes as one list of contours, it can cause XVI to: * Interpolate a contour that identifies the two structures as one structure. * Change the contour shape of the volumes in the imported CT reference data and structure sets. |
