syngo.via RT Image Suite with software versions recall: Software Issue

syngo.via RT Image Suite with software versions syngo.via VB30 or VB40

Why was syngo.via RT Image Suite with software versions recalled?

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 wrong 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. The occurence of this issue is very unlikely and has never been reported so far.
