Troubleshooting: DICOM printing of images that use YRB is corruptedTopic number: 1425412218382

YRB (yellow-red-blue) images cannot be DICOM printed.

Issue

When DICOM printing YRB (yellow-red-blue) images, images are corrupted.

Details

The only modality type that uses the YRB color scheme is US, and color US images are not typically DICOM printed.

Solution

This is a known issue. Avoid DICOM printing YRB images.

The printed YRB image is so obviously corrupted that it cannot be used for diagnosis, and therefore cannot be the basis for misdiagnosis. Because the image can be diagnosed in the Diagnostic Desktop, the inability to DICOM print need not delay diagnosis, either.
