Whole body x-ray computed tomography scanner which features a continuously rotating tube-detector system and functions according to the fan beam principle. The system software is an interactive program used for x-ray scan control, image reconstruction, and image archive/evaluation.

The function of Time Scan is intended to use in contrast scan include single phase and multi-phase scan, that is according to different density of contrast in vessels or organs between different phase to get necessary information to support doctor's diagnosis.

Reason

An issue associated with the "Timed Scan" application was found. The system does not wait for the programmed time interval and starts the x-ray after selection of the scan button when certain criteria is met.

Action

A letter was issued to customers prior to the release of the field correction during June 2008. The system software will be updated to correct the non-compliances. For information or support concerning this issue, please contact the Neusoft Medical Systems Service Support Department ([email protected]) or contact Philips Medical Systems North America Co.
