Product
GE Centricity PACS Workstation, versions 3.1.1.x through 3.2.1.x Picture Archiving and Communication System Used as a primary diagnostic and analysis tool for diagnostic images by trained healthcare professionals, including radiologists, physicians, technologists, clinicians and nurses. Also used as a clinical review workstation throughout the healthcare facility. The workstation interface provides the user with a means to display, manipulate, archive, print and export images when connected with the Centricity PACS infrastructure.
Reason
While merging exams in a test instance, merges carry forward in the production system, when the middle tier is configured to the wrong IP address of the Centricity Exam Manager. When a current and historical exam are opened at the same time, the system asynchronously tries to access the operation specifying how each image should be grouped, causing random image-series grouping errors.
