    GE HealthCare has become aware of a potential issue on certain Discovery, Optima, Revolution series CT systems, and certain operator console upgrades that can result in rotated CT images. Particularly with helical, cine, and cardiac (if applicable) scan modes, after the first image of an exam, each subsequent image can be rotated by an increasing amount. The amount of progressive image rotation is dependent on the gantry speed and the duration of the scan. The final image in the exam can be rotated up to a maximum of ~56 degrees. The entire anatomy rotates as a whole by equal degrees, without distortion, and the anatomical positioning and z-axis of the images remains correct. Small degrees of image rotation might not be noticed. If image rotation is noticed and necessitates a rescan of the patient, the same image rotation will reoccur.

    • Terminated Z-0840-2014 FDA Class II initiated 9 Oct 2013

    There is an issue with the Manual Film Composer feature on some CT products. There is an opportunity, while following a specific workflow, to create a film image with one patient's images and another patient's name in the footer. This is also an issue when within Manual Film Composer, if a color image is selected for printing, another patient's black and white image appears in the preview screen
