Philips CT Scanners May Need Manual Trigger for Bolus Tracking
Philips recalls certain CT scanners that may require manual triggering after Bolus Tracking scans, risking inadequate imaging and extra radiation exposure. Affected units may need rescan.
The clinical CT scan may not automatically trigger after the Bolus Tracking scan and may need to be triggered manually. Additional Bolus Tracking shots may occur. This may result in the clinical acquisition being inadequate for diagnosis, causing a potential for patient rescan and receiving additional radiation.
