  • Causa
    When dicom exporting an arc plan (vmat, dynamic conformal or 3d static arcs) and using the composite field sequencing (cfs) feature, the dicom exported plan will not match the approved treatment plan., the problem occurs when the starting gantry angle of the second arc is exactly 180 degrees and the stop angle of first beam is greater than 180 degrees away from the start position of the second arc. cfs is designed to combine arcs into a single beam to streamline delivery. however, under these specific circumstances, the start and stop points for the arcs become corrupted.
