- Reason
- Software error; Carestream Health Inc, received a complaint stating that when a user accidentally obtains a measurement value of 0 and corrects the value in the report, the resulting measurement unit is not displayed, i.e., centimeters or millimeters. As such, the user expects that the measurement is taken calculated in centimeters, consistent with other values in the report. In actuality, the measurement is taken in millimeters. When this updated measurement is used in an average calculation, the result appears incorrect as two measurements are interpreted as centimeters while the user corrected value is interpreted as millimeters. If the user selects a Calc Result display as Min or Max, the values are also interpreted as millimeters when centimeters were expected.
