Reason for Recall
Focal Software: When a patient is defined as prone and the shifts are manually entered and the LOCK SHIFT box is checked the X coordinate (left/right) and the Z coordinate (anterior/posterior) are reversed (left to right, anterior to posterior). This could potentially lead to incorrect isocenter definitions from prone patients and thus a mislocation of dose.
