CT Dose Profile Analyzer v4.0B, 2010-03-15 build 4.0.0.15 DLL v2.4.0.7914 Improvements and Corrections ============================================= - RTICmLib.dll - updated CT Dose Profile Analyzer v4.0A, 2009-05-28 build 4.0.0.15 DLL v2.4.0.7481 ============================================= For complete installation instructions see chapter 2 of the CT Dose Profile Analyzer manual. Improvements and Corrections ============================================= - Measure/New is not supported in this version.Use Open example insted. - Main support of the new CT Dose profiler that is an enhanced version of the ol d CTSD-16 . - Support of four detectors instead of only one. Two is dedicated for CT dose pr ofile measurement, two is of general purpose and applicable specially when measured with the dose template only - Detector ID display window now indicates detector that is used: 0=CTSD-16, 1=CT Dose Profiler, 2=R100B, 3=Piranha Dose Probe, N/A =Not supported detectors - Auto selection of energy and field width corrections for CT applications for t he CT Dose Profiler and CTSD-16. - New Measurement parameter in the CTDI template based on CT IEC standard: Geometric efficiency = Integral of collimation, NT divided with the total integr al of the dose profile in percent Only defined without phantom in the beam (RQR beam qualities) - Field width corrections for measurement without phantom in the CTDI template f or narrow beam down to 3 mm. - Updated CT Database 3.0 20090630 support new k- values and support for CT Dose Profiler - Now Show vertical scrollbar and to support uPC with limited vertical resolutio n of 600 pixels. - Allow user to resize (maximize) the program window - New updated manual including more information about detector specifications an d references of CT articles.

- Fixed bug where Barracuda and Piranha sometimes crashes in the settings screen . - Bigger font size so the user easier can read the "System info / Instructions " - Delay and window was wrongly displayed when selecting "time "mode in the setti ng screen. - Upper X-axis name for CTDI template is now called Time(s) instead of Z-axis(s) - Program renamed to CT Dose Profile Analyzer instead of CT Dose Profile Analyse r

CT Dose Profile Analyser v3.0A, 2008-06-30 DLL v2.3.0.7300 ============================================= For complete installation instructions see chapter 2 of the CT Dose Profile Analyser manual. Improvements and Corrections ============================================= - Changed name from CT-SD16 to CT Dose Profile Analyser - Old measurements can be updated with just a double-click in the new CT Databas e and resaved - Different Result field for Central point method, Five point method, Free in Ai r and Dose - New settings layout - Support measuring time up to 160s - New Measure and Report menu - Simplifier QA with one point method - Support of CT Database - Timed mode preferred method - Continuous method supported for Dose - CTDI double x-axis scale: time and length - Support of DLP, CTDIvol, CTDIw according to CT panel readings - Support of energy corrections and k-factors from CT Database. - Support for automatically identification of Barracuda or Piranha - Setting screens simplified using tabs - Support of Power management - Dose template improved with support of two cursors and calculation between cur sors - noise filter for graph data - Support of examples for Siemens, GE, Toshiba and Philips - Fixing error screen when File open was aborted without selecting file - Open example now navigate to the example directory - CT theses and publishing material from Mayo clinics now support our data. - Red stars marks needed setting values and green stars marks values set by the Database - Support of New Measurement without loading example - Report menu supports print and html of Front panel - Export data and graph to excel compatible txt file for both dose and CTDI temp late - Report generator - New installer on the RTI CD - Support of VISTA - User can configure the CT Database - Support for new improved symmetrical detector - Support for manual Z-axis movement

============================================= CT-SD16 version 2.0B 2008-02-12 DLL version 2.1.0.7136 ============================================= For complete installation instructions see chapter 2 of the CT-SD16 manual. The following bugs/issues are fixed/improved: - DLL updated to support new firmware. - Correction of USB communication issue. - Support for CT-SD16 version 2. Known Limitations: - When measuring CTDIvol in the peripheral holes of the phantom it is recommended to use a low pitch value around 0.5 to be sure to get a sufficient dose contribution from the CT beam. For measurement in the central hole the pitch value is not critical since the CT-SD16 detector is symmetrically placed in the middle of the phantom. - Conversion of detector data to the new detector system is not possible using CT-SD16. Please see the CT-SD16 section in the document Step-by-step guide of how to update your Barracuda/Piranha system found on www.rti.se. ============================================= CT-SD16 version 2.0B 2007-07-06 DLL version 2.0.1.6837 ============================================= For complete installation instructions see chapter 2 of the CT-SD16 manual. The following bugs/issues are fixed/improved: - DLL updated to support new firmware. - Some improvements to the CT-SD16 setup program. - Fix for issue where measurement in Timed mode did not return any data. - The program for sending support information is updated to better assist you in resolving issues. - Support for Detector information stored in the meter and the detector.
