Reason

Siemens healthcare became aware of possible incorrect tube current calculations by the care Dose4D Algorithm for head scans based on p.a. (posterior-anterior) or a.p. topograms. Depending on the geometrical shape of the skull bone, it may happen in rare cases that the calculated dose distribution is not appropriate and could lead to unnecessary radiation exposure.
