| Issue: | The default step size set in RDStore is typically used during the planning process. The measured source paths for a ring-type applicator always have a source step size of 2.5 mm for the microSelectron afterloader. When creating an Oncentra Brachy plan for a Ring applicator with a measured source path, the step size of the measured source path will be used for the entire plan. The issue is caused by the measured source paths for the applicators listed below, which have a source step size of 2.5 mm for the microSelectron afterloader. If you use such an applicator model to create a plan, while the default step size of the afterloader is 5.0, the step size in the ring or lunar-shaped ovoids will be incorrect. They will be shown as 2.5 mm, while the afterloader will deliver at 5.0 mm if the error is not detected during plan approval. |
