GE Healthcare recalls certain CT scanners that may produce rotated images during scans, potentially requiring rescan. Affected models include Discovery RT with specific serial numbers.
GE HealthCare has become aware of a potential issue on certain Discovery, Optima, Revolution series CT systems, and certain operator console upgrades that can result in rotated CT images. Particularly with helical, cine, and cardiac (if applicable) scan modes, after the first image of an exam, each subsequent image can be rotated by an increasing amount. The amount of progressive image rotation is dependent on the gantry speed and the duration of the scan. The final image in the exam can be rotated up to a maximum of ~56 degrees. The entire anatomy rotates as a whole by equal degrees, without distortion, and the anatomical positioning and z-axis of the images remains correct. Small degrees of image rotation might not be noticed. If image rotation is noticed and necessitates a rescan of the patient, the same image rotation will reoccur.
GE Healthcare is recalling specific CT scanners that may produce rotated images during scans. This issue could require patients to be rescanned if image rotation is noticed, though the rotation doesn't distort anatomy.
The CT scanners may rotate images by up to 56 degrees after the first scan, especially in helical, cine, and cardiac modes. This rotation repeats if a rescan is needed, but the images remain anatomically correct without distortion.
Medical facilities using the recalled CT scanners are affected. Patients may need rescans if image rotation is noticed, but the rotation doesn't distort anatomy.
Check for the model number 2374681-17 on the scanner. Affected units have specific serial numbers listed in the recall notice.
Verify the model number on the scanner to see if it matches the recalled units.
The recall does not mention injury risk; the images rotate but do not distort anatomy.

If image rotation is noticed, a rescan may be needed, but the rotation does not distort anatomy.
