Syngo.Via

Reason

Siemens has identified the following technical issue if MR images have been acquired with customized scan protocols and loaded into Syngo.Via RT image suite for postprocessing with the option "synthetic CT": if the user modifies for any reason (e.g. reduction of artifacts) the original image orientation of a standard MR protocol to acquire images in a different orientation for further processing in "synthetic CT", the software does not recognize the adapted acquisition plane. This may result in images with incorrect geometry. When this distortion remains unnoticed and the images are subsequently exported to a treatment planning system (TPS), an incorrect calculated radiation treatment plan cannot be excluded
