Plain-English summary
IntelePACS Image Fusion Module—InteleViewer is a software application that receives digital images and data from various sources. A bug in versions 5-6-1-P23 and later causes the software to calculate Standard Uptake Values (SUV) incorrectly for PET/CT imaging studies performed on Daylight Saving Time transition dates. On all other dates, the software functions correctly. An incorrect SUV calculation may result in an incorrect diagnosis.
Eighty-eight systems are distributed across the United States and internationally in Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
Healthcare providers using affected IntelePACS systems should contact the manufacturer (INTELERAD MEDICAL SYSTEMS INCORPORATED) for updated software versions. Any diagnostic decisions based on SUV measurements from images processed on Daylight Saving Time transition dates should be reviewed.
