Affencted Products

EXTENDED BRILLIANCE WORKSPACE NM

Reason

The AutoSPECT Pro Application was only designed to reconstruct cardiac SPECT data obtained with detectors positioned at 90? or 180? relative to one another. However, certain gamma cameras, e.g., the Marconi AXIS and IRIX cameras, permit acquisitions at other relative detector angles. Philips has become aware that data acquired at these other angles will not be correctly reconstructed by AutoSPECT Pro, and the results will likely be erroneous.
