Reason for Recall

Calibration offset between the central CT image plane and the external RT lasers has been set automatically to the factory default of 50.00 cm, if the misadjustment of the offset value is not recognized during the subsequent treatment planning process or remains undetected during the position verification at the treatment system (e.g. linear accelerator), this can potentially result in an incorrect dose or dose applied to the wrong location
