Reason

software malfunction; It was found when a user performs radiography using the wireless flat panel detector (FPD), a message window displays on the monitor stating image transmission was not completed and there was no image available. It also showed the "OK" button to reacquire image data from the FPD, and the "Cancel" button to cancel the acquisition . When the user selects the "OK" button, the same message window appears. This prompted the user to repeat the same operation several times and finally select the "Cancel" button to quit the reacquistion mode.
