Reason for Recall

It was reported by a customer site that when using Advantage Sim MD on Advantage Workstation, the series could be incorrectly labeled in image view when multiple series of an exam are loaded simultaneously in Advantage Sim MD and if their series dates are different. A mismatch of series label for structure sets may lead to under-treatment of a tumor due to too small coverage of volume treated.
