Shanghai United Imaging Healthcare recalls uCT 760 CT scanners with specific serial numbers and software versions due to potential image artifacts and radiation dose increases from rescanning.
Two issues were identified with the computed tomography x-ray system including an intermittent issue which may affect image data leading to artifacts; and intermittent scout scanning interruption due to occasional angle signal drift. This may result in the need for rescanning of the patient with the patient receiving an additional dose of radiation and possible use of additional contrast media.
