Why was Echelon recalled?
Hitachi discovered a software error that can occur when simultaneously scanning a patient while processing images previously acquired from a different patient. The software error can occur randomly. The error causes an image in the processed dataset to have the same unique identifier (UID) as in the scanning dataset. The processed image is stored in the place of the original image, which is lost.
