The system functionality can be configured based on user needs. The intended users of RayStation shall be clinically qualified radiation therapy staff trained in using the system.
If the beam model has a highly asymmetric primary source, it is not correctly taken into account in the calculation of DMLC fields when the collimator is rotated. This could lead to potentially significant overdosage at delivery. The user must be aware of the issue to avoid incorrect dose calculations during treatment planning.
