Recall Insight

This recall's affected scope, documented in the Recall Profile below, stays within a single-region or limited-distribution footprint.

The software is a medical diagnostic system that allows the processing, review, analysis, communication, and media interchange of multi-dimensional digital images acquired from a variety of imaging devices. It provides the ability to review digital images from original DICOM data for multiple modalities, including CT, MR, DR, CR, XA, US, NM, PET, etc. The software is not meant for primary image interpretation in mammography. The Vitrea VScore option is intended for cardiac scoring from whole body CT derived measurements, including non-invasive detection and quantification of atherosclerotic plaque. Two image processing options, EKG Gate and Auto Gate, allow the operator to select images with reduced motion artifacts when processing data for Coronary Artery Calcification Scoring.
