    Description

    NovaPACS Diagnostic Viewer. NovaPACS is a picture archiving and communication system software that retrieves, distributes, and display images and data from different modalities including CT, MR, US, CR/DX, NM, PT, and XA.

    Reason

    The firm received a report of an atypical dataset being generated. When using the cross-localization feature and images from a modality that generates asymmetrical images, the cross-localization reference line may be inaccurately placed on any of the corresponding images that are open.
