Reason

Carestream recently received reports of a non-diagnostic image on exams when a normal exposure mode (NEM) image is taken immediately prior to an extended exposure mode (EEM) image with the system in fast preview mode. Investigation revealed that the directview version 5.5 and 5.6 console software when used with DRX-1 detector version 69 firmware contained a timing issue which could result in a non-diagnostic image.
