Product Description

Extended Brilliance Workspace NM Special Nuclear medicine image display and processing application suite. AutoSPECT Pro Software Application. Philips Medical Systems, Cleveland, OH. Provides software applications used to process, analyze, and display medical images/data.

Reason for Recall

The AutoSPECT Pro application was only designed to reconstruct cardiac SPECT data obtained with detectors positioned at 90¿ or 180¿ relative to one another. However, certain gamma cameras allow for other relative detector angles. Data acquired at these other angles will not be correctly reconstructed by AutoSPECT Pro and the results will likely be erroneous.
