During patient examinations, the system may sporadically display a 0 x-ray dose administered to the patient. This behavior has only been observed during fluoroscopy and/or single-frame acquisitions. Despite the reported x-ray dose showing 0, an actual x-ray dose is applied to the patient.

During 3D acquisitions, lighter and darker patient images may be captured, which may result in less accurate 3D reconstruction. The variation of brightness is a result of a constant unregulated medium dose and the angular change of patient diameter caused by rotational acquisition. This may result in unintentional low-dose radiation exposure to a patient.
