 === Grid and Image Data Interpretation ===
-The difference between the grid and image origin definitions can easily result in image or grid data being misinterpreted. Image origins are defined at the top left most corner of the image, while grid origins are defined as the position of the upper-left most point as shown below.
+The difference between the grid and image origin definitions can result in image or grid data being misinterpreted. Image origins are defined at the corner of the image, while grid origins are defined directly as the position of the corner point as shown below.
 For images, it's important to remember that the location of the pixel value is at the pixel center point, so the position of the first cell, for example, should be shifted by 1/2 of the pixel spacing. Grids however typically contain point data (not cell centered), so data and position correspond directly with a shift.

   - **Large array_types of number_types** create issues with uploading to the ISS provider if the points are too dense.
     - Consider keeping arrays of numbers from being overly large.
+  - **PBS Dose Calculation Functions** accept the input type of proton_degrader, which allows for the use of a variable thickness range-compensator.
+    - Currently only constant thickness range-shifters are validated for clinical use.
