  • Reason
    When computing the effective depth (with bolus) to the weight point, xio could use the bolus density for a particular segment of the weight fan when it should be using the ct density. if the ct density is different than the bolus density, the effective depth will be incorrect which will lead to incorrect dose., a resolution for this problem will be available in patch release 4.80.03 and release 5.00.01.
