Class II

Philips Healthcare received a report from the field stating when they viewed the CTDIVol information from the PACS system, the calculations were too high. Instead of storing the CTDIVol value for each slice in the DICOM tag, the system took the sum of all CTDIVol values from all the images in the dataset and stored this value in the DICOM tag, resulting in incorrect information.
