Reason/Issue |
Philips previously notified owners of affected DigitalDiagnost systems that software release 2.1.3 would be installed on the systems to modify the appearance of a mirror icon. However, software release 2.1.3 contained a defect that may result in the incorrect placement of the electronic marker (left/right) indicating the patient side if an image is rotated.
Software release 2.1.4 addresses both the original & new issue, & it will be installed on affected systems in place of release 2.1.3. If software release 2.1.3 has already been installed on a system, it will be replaced with release 2.1.4.
With DigitalDiagnost R 2.0.2 a mirrored “R in a circle” is burnt into the image (if mirrored) in the lower right corner of the image. When such an image is mirrored back inside the PACS system, an unmirrored “R in a circle” appears in the lower left corner. This can be mistaken for a “right patient side” marker, although this can appear on the left patient side. |
