In November 2007 Varian Medical Systems released a new version of ECLIPSE (version 8.1.17), which includes a correction to its Anisotropic Analytical Algorithm affecting monitor unit calculations for Enhanced Dynamic Wedge. The purpose of this study is to evaluate and compare the accuracy of the MU calculations for version 8.1.17 with that from the previous version (8.0.05).
