  • Reason
    Following update from 3.3 to 3.5 of the dynacad software it was noted that the ktrans map was not rendered correctly on the dynacad client. the defect causes the pharmacokinetic (pk) color maps to display incorrectly when viewed from remote dynacad client computers and could result in visually underestimating calculated ktrans, kep, and iaugc values. the defect also impacts dynacad s on-the-fly calculation of apparent diffusion coefficient (adc) maps. if the adc values are computed on-the-fly by dynacad, the adc values and colors will also display incorrectly if viewed on a remote dynacad client.
