Reason

This recall has been initiated because the cross reference lines a.k.a cut lines or localizer lines may not display properly. This is due to math error when calculating the cut line position for studies with extremely high precision in The Dicom Tag Image Orientation Patient (0020, 0037) containing values of greater than 15 significant digits. When the problem is encountered the cross reference lines will move erratically as the user stack scrolls through the study.
