Commercial Name of Affected Product: OBI 1.3, OBI 1.4; OBI 1.5; TrueBeam 1.0; OfflineReview 1.0 - 2.0

Description of Problem:
This letter is to advise you of an anomaly that has been identified in the 3D Match environmentof OBI 1.3, OBI 1.4, OBI 1.5, TrueBeam 1.0 and Offline Review 1.0 – 2.0 when using referenceCT datasets which contain a critical number of slices. [Note that the 3D Match environments ofTrueBeam 1.5 and Offline Review 2.1 are not affected by this anomaly.] When these referenceCT datasets are used to create a reference CT volume in the 3D Match environment, in a smallnumber of cases, the scaling of the CT volume will be incorrect and the CT volume will appearlarger – in the slice direction - than it actually should be. If this improperly scaled CT volume isused for 3D matching, the CBCT volume and patient may be positioned too far superiorly.Because of differences in software design, OBI 1.5 is much more likely to exhibit this behaviorthan the other products identified in this notification. This notice provides a description of theissue, the actions you can take to avoid the issue, and steps Varian is taking to address theissue.
Background:
In the 3D Match environment the CT slices from a reference CT are converted into a CT volumefor display. To minimize use of computer memory, the CT volume is always representedinternally using 250 slices, even if the original CT dataset contains more slices. When CTdatasets with greater than 250 slices are used, internally the original CT slices are re-sampledso that only 250 slices exist in memory.
Details:
The problem lies in the logic used to determine when the re-sampling of the CT dataset shouldoccur. Due to flaws in the logic, on occasion the re-sampling will not be performed, even thoughthe original CT dataset contains more than 250 slices. The result will be a CT volume that isdisplayed as being larger in the slice direction than it should be (see Figure 1). There is nogeometric error at the inferior end of the CT volume and maximum geometric error at thesuperior end of the CT volume.

The anatomy within any slice is displayed properly. And any structures drawn on top of the CTvolume are also scaled properly. Therefore, it is possible to recognize this problem becausethere will be a mis-alignment between the CT volume and the structures in sagittal and coronal
views, although it may be difficult to detect the issue in the axial view.
The problem only occurs if (i) the slice spacing in the CT dataset is uniform throughout theentire CT dataset; (ii) the CT dataset contains a number of CT slices in a critical range (seeTable 1 and Appendix A); (iii) the CT dataset is used in conjunction with CBCT imageacquisition; and, (iv) the CT slices are ordered so that the CT slice with the smallest CT couchposition is the slice that reaches the scaling logic first. Because of these multip le factors, theprobability of encountering the problem is li kely small, but is very difficult to predict.

Affected CT Datasets:
Only CT datasets with the number of slices in a critical range are subject to the problem. If thenumber of CT slices in the dataset exceeds a certain value, which depends upon the slicethickness, then the CT volume is re-sampled properly, and no scaling problem appears. And noproblem occurs for CT datasets containing 250 or fewer CT slices. Therefore, the problem
THE PROBLEM:
The CT volume(gray-scale image) isstretched.The structures andCT volume are notaligned.

Magnitude of the Geometric Error:
The geometry of the CT volume is correct at the inferior end of the CT volume and themaximum error occurs at the superior end of the CT volume (see Figure 1). The error at anyintermediate location scales linearly with position relative to the ends. Therefore, the treatmentisocenter location - typically in the middle of the CT volume - would have an error 50% of the
maximum error.
The magnitude of the maximum scaling error for any CT dataset depends upon how manyslices above 250 that the CT dataset contains. The maximum scaling error (i.e., the error at thesuperior end of the CT scan) is given by "the number of slices in the CT dataset greater than250" times "the slice thickness". If the maximum scaling error becomes equal to, or larger than,25.0 mm, then the CT dataset is outside of the critical range where the error will occur. Themaximum scaling error for some slices is listed in Table 1 and a more complete list is in
Appendix A.
Error (at superior end) = (Number of slices in CT dataset – 250) * slice thickness. (Eq. 1)[for Error < 25 mm]Error (at superior end) = 0 if number of slices = 25 mm
The magnitude of the maximum scaling error as a function of slice number, and for selectedslice thicknesses, is shown in Figure 2.

Ordering of the CT Slices:
The order in which the CT slices are sent to the 3D Match environment is important. The scalingproblem occurs only if the first slice from the CT dataset reaching the 3D Match environment isthe CT slice with the smallest CT couch position. With any other slice order, no scaling problemwill occur, even though the CT dataset contains the number of CT slices in the critical range.The slice order depends upon the product and software version, as well as clinical practice.
OBI 1.5
In OBI 1.5, the order that the CT slices is received by the 3D Match environment is thesame as the order in which the CT slices are saved in the database. The database is notdesigned to store CT slices in a defined order, so the exact order of saving andretrieving CT slices cannot be predicted. However, empirical examination of severaldatabases shows that the probability that the CT slice with the smallest couch positionbeing loaded first ranges between 1/5 – 1/2. This number appears to depend uponclinical practice, and it is speculated that the CT slice order is related to the direction theCT table is moving when the CT dataset is acquired. As a result, 1/5 – 1/2 of the CTdatasets that contain the critical number of CT slices may exhibit the scaling problem.

The scaling problem will also appear in the OBI 1.5 3D Match environment every timethe CT dataset is loaded and used.
OBI 1.3, OBI 1.4, Offline Review 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 2.0 and TrueBeam 1.0
In these products, the loading of the CT slices goes through an intermediate step wherethe CT slices are placed in a cache before being sent to the 3D Match environment. Theorder that CT slices are accessed from the cache is random. Therefore, the probabilitythat the CT slice with the smallest couch position being loaded first is 1/(number ofslices), which is ~ 1/250. Therefore, there is a much lower probability that the scalingproblem will be encountered with these product versions. Furthermore, because theordering of the CT slices is random, the problem may appear one day and not appearsubsequently.
Recommended User Actions
Review your clinical matching process. If you do not use the CT volume (gray-scale image) formatching but overlay the structures on top of the acquired CBCT, then this scaling problem willnot affect you. This is because the structures have the proper dimensions.
Stop using CT datasets in the critical CT slice range. Use the information in Table 1 or Appendix A to determine the critical CT slice range for the CT slice thicknesses that your clinic uses. Ifyou have any patients on treatment with a reference CT in the critical CT slice range, create anew CT volume in your treatment planning system using fewer CT slices and copy the existingplan to the new volume. If you use Eclipse as your treatment planning system, and are not
familiar with the process of reducing the number of slices in a CT volume, contact the VarianHelp Desk. For guidance, one method to reduce the number of CT slices in a CT volume isdescribed in Appendix B.
It is difficult to check if this problem has occurred with previous patients. While the probability isquite low with OBI 1.3, OBI 1.4, TrueBeam 1.0 and Offline Review 1.0 – 2.0, there is no way ofsystematically reviewing all matches to see if previous matches were in error.
If one is using OBI 1.5 then checks can be made using Offline Review, because the probabilityof a scaling problem occurring is different between the two products. Identify patients with CTdatasets where the number of CT slices is in the critical range. Load these patients into OfflineReview and first verify that there is no display problem in Offline Review by displaying a coronal
slice and comparing the body outline with the CT volume (e.g., see Figure 1). Examine the 3Dmatch. If the match appears correct in Offline Review, then the scaling problem is not likely tohave occurred in OBI 1.5. The error to look for is the CBCT dataset being positioned too farsuperiorly. Any checks in Offline Review are best done using sagittal and coronal views.

Appendix B: Creating a new 3D Image (CT volume)
This Appendix describes how to create a new 3D Image (CT volume) from an existing 3D Image
when Eclipse is used for treatment planning. This Appendix only needs to be reviewed if youcurrently have patients on treatment whose reference CT datasets fall into the critical range.
Please contact the Varian Help Desk if you need assistance with these instructions.
The following example shows how to generate a new 3D Image in Eclipse with a reduced number of CTslices. The scaling anomaly can be avoided by reducing the number of CT slices to 250 slices or less. Inthe example, there are 255 transverse images with a slice separation of 2 mm. The tumor volume lies inthe superior aspect of the lung. It is necessary to provide an accurate DVH for the lung structure, butthere are several transverse slices at the inferior aspect of the data set which lie far outside the anatomicregion of interest and would not affect the DVH or dose calculation to the critical and normal tissues.Therefore, these inferior CT slices may be excluded during the creation of a new CT volume.
1.) Go to Selection.
2.) Highlight the CT Series folder in the scope window and, while holding down the left mouse button,drag this object to the far right:
In "Selection" , highlight theplanning CT Series folder inthe scope window (at the
upper left) and drag it to thefar right, so that all of thetransverse images load to thegallery.

As a result, all of the transverse images in the CT data stack will be loaded in the gallery:
3.) Only the transverse images open in the gallery will be utilized for the creation of the new 3D Image. By"closing" some slices, the number of CT slices used to form the 3D Image can be reduced.
Note: Only remove CT slices that will not affect planning properties such as DVHs or dose calculations.Furthermore, even if the slice thickness was varied during acquisition of the CT images, the 3D imagecreated will have a uniform slice thickness.
While holding down the left mouse button, drag the mouse over the slices in the gallery which the userhas determined can be excluded from the 3D image till they appear highlighted, then right mouse click(RMC) and select Close:
As a result , all o f the transverse images inthe CT data set are loaded to the gallery. Inthis case, a total of 255 CT slices.
