| Issue: | Under special workflow conditions involving reloading data, a newly created structure is renamed incorrectly by the software as the name of the last deleted structure. If this incorrect structure is used for treatment planning, there is a potential that an incorrect target is treated. This issue is only unlikely to be detected if the incorrect structure is very similar to the correct structure. The probability of a severe mistreatment is practically impossible with good clinical practice, as considerable changes from the original treatment plan would be detected during the treatment planning and approval. |
