  • Reason
    To reduce storage space, azurion r1.1 systems include the downscale option of images when exporting to the external dicom destination (eg pacs). when using the downscale option, measurements performed with the azurion r1.1 system using the qa basic measurement tool will not be correctly exported to the external dicom target. the difference between the original measurement and the exported measurement may vary. the distance value after export has a factor of 1 to 4 lower than the original value. the difference will depend on the acquired image (eg x-ray protocol, field of view) and the file settings used (eg scaled-down settings). if the measurement is performed again at the external dicom destination, the result will also be incorrect unless a new calibration of the image is made.
