| Issue: | A software issue exists when using List Mode Replay, such that subsequent reconstructions with that data could contribute to an image with scatter over-estimation and overcorrection. Reconstructed images with this issue will have many fewer counts than the acquired scan data and a high scatter fraction. This issue may affect studies that use List Mode Replay and are reconstructed after subsequent acquisitions. This issue may lead to image misinterpretation and/or inaccurate treatment decisions |
