A complaint was received by Philips indicating that the non-gated bolus tracking clinical scan failed to initialise with the system displaying the error message:
“A problem has occurred; please retry. If the problem persists contact service.”
This resulted in the study being cancelled with a loss of bolus. If this were to re-occur, it may necessitate a rescan. |
