Reason
A software issue exists when using list mode replay, such that subsequent reconstructions with that data could contribute to an image with scatter over-estimation and overcorrection. Reconstructed images with this issue will have many fewer counts than the acquired scan data and a high scatter fraction. This issue may affect studies that use list mode replay and are reconstructed after subsequent acquisitions.
