Reason

Carestream has identified a software defect that impacts image alignment when using the automatic stitching option for long length images. if there is no use of external fiducial markers or measurement tools (i.e. radio opaque ruler) when building a composite image and the technologist relies solely on the auto stitching software, there could be a risk of undetected stitching  error that would otherwise get noticed  and corrected with the use of manual stitching.
