Reason
This recall has been initiated due to merge PACS inability to display presentation states on prior comparison studies generated on 3rd party systems or that have been migrated from Office PACS. PACS 6.5.6 introduced the feature to be able to display foreign presentation states, however, this feature was only available on the primary study in any given viewer instance. It did not apply to prior comparison studies that were opened in the same viewer. Users might assume that if the annotations are available in the primary study, they would also be shown if available on the prior comparison studies.
