Compass System-Main Software Application

Reason

The reconstruction of the dose distribution in Compass 3.1 for Monaco-DMLC and Eclipse IMRT plans with jaw tracking enabled result in the same dose distribution as the dose computation, which has the potential of being erroneous. The reason for the wrong result is an error in the software that causes the reconstruction to be based only on the calculated fluence and not on the fluence derived from the measurement.
