Reason

The "Patient Orientation" button can inadvertently be clicked when intending to click on the "Save RX" button. This changes the prescribed patient orientation on the system prior to running the initial 3-Plane Localizer Scan. This can result in incorrectly annotated and/or flipped images and potentially result in improper medical treatment.
