    CT Dose Profile Analyzer v4.0A, 2009-05-28build 4.0.0.15DLL v2.4.0.7481=============================================For complete installation instructions seechapter 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 old CTSD-16 .- Support of four detectors instead of only one. Two is dedicated for CT dose profile measurement, two is of general purposeand 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 supporteddetectors- Auto selection of energy and field width corrections for CT applications for the 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 integral 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 for narrow beam down to 3 mm.- Updated CT Database 3.0 20090630 support new k- values and support for CT DoseProfiler- Now Show vertical scrollbar and to support uPC with limited vertical resolution of 600 pixels.- Allow user to resize (maximize) the program window- New updated manual including more information about detector specifications and references of CT articles.

    =============================================CT-SD16 version 2.0B 2008-02-12DLL version 2.1.0.7136=============================================For complete installation instructions seechapter 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 holesof the phantom it is recommended to use a lowpitch value around 0.5 to be sure to get a

    sufficient dose contribution from the CT beam.For measurement in the central hole the pitchvalue is not critical since the CT-SD16detector is symmetrically placed in the middleof the phantom.

    - Conversion of detector data to the new detectorsystem is not possible using CT-SD16.Please see the CT-SD16 section in the document

    Step-by-step guide of how to update yourBarracuda/Piranha system found on www.rti.se.

    =============================================
