We use elekta's mosaiq radiation oncology record and verify system version 2.41.01j0 in our radiation oncology clinic.We recently found it necessary to resend reference ct and structure set information for an igrt patient, with the intent to apply the new reference data to future imaging and treatment sessions.To our great dismay, we found (and an elekta representative confirmed) that mosaiq also applies the new reference data retroactively to previous approved cbct images, showing the same shifts were made based upon different reference data.This effectively changes the record of what was done and what was approved, making it look like different (and possibly completely inappropriate) localization decisions were made.Since this happens retroactively it may not be a patient safety concern, but it could be a huge liability issue for radiation oncologists and radiotherapy clinics.It is difficult to believe the fda would grant approval to a system that allows retroactive changes to approved records.
