• FEI Number: 2126677
• Recalling Firm/ Manufacturer: General Electric Med Systems LLC; 3000 N Grandview Blvd; Waukesha WI 53188-1615
• Manufacturer Reason for Recall: Display in fused mode- viewer allows 2 studies ( PET/CT) registered in the same spatial domain to be viewed simultaneously. These 2 images should be visually aligned to a precision of less than 1/2 PET Voxel. A problem associated with this version of software may introduce a shift of up to 1.5 PET Voxels, which can be as much as 8 mm with certain zoom factors.
