Reason

Philips has received a complaint indicating that the non-gated bolus tracking clinical scan failed to initialize with the system displaying the error message "A problem has occurred- please retry. If the problem persists contact service." This resulted in the study being cancelled with a loss of bolus. If this were to re-occur, it may necessitate a rescan.
