| Issue: | The manufacturer is aware of potential, incorrect tube-current calculations by the CARE Dose4D algorithm when utilizing only PA or AP topograms. Depending on the geometrical shape of the skull, rare cases may occur in which the calculated dose distribution is not appropriate for scans that include the head, when based only on PA or AP topograms. The CARE Dose4D software may select the maximum tube current for the uppermost part of the skull, which incidentally leads to unnecessary radiation exposure. |
