| Issue: | AutoSPECT Pro is a SPECT reconstruction application residing on the Extended Brilliance Workspace NM workstation. It was found that the software may display incorrect results if the data processed is derived from SPECT acquisitions using detectors positioned at angles other than 90° or 180° relative to on another. Reliance on these results could lead to an incorrect assessment of a patient's myocardial perfusion, in which case the patient may not receive further indicated diagnostic tests or therapy, putting the patient at risk for a subsequent cardiovascular event. Many gamma cameras only allow acquisitions at relative 90° or 180°, so this issue cannot occur when reconstructing data obtained with those systems. Philips has not received any report of any patient harm associated with this issue. |
