REASON
Image Orientation Incorrect (Image Shifts) – 1) if the reference image has been calibrated for centering and the reference image is used for patient positioning, the image will shift when the positioning tools are used. 2) This problem occurs only when non-square reference images are used, such as when images are cropped. At this point, the images will refresh, and the center of the reference image will shift.
