## Why This Recall Is Important
The **MIM (Software Package)** is widely used in the medical field to analyze and fuse images, such as PET-CT or PET-MRI scans, which are critical for disease diagnosis and monitoring. The **incorrect image fusion with elevated SUVs** can:
- **Misrepresent medical conditions** – An overestimated SUV may falsely signal disease progression or severity.
- **Lead to misguided treatment decisions** – This could result in unnecessary or inappropriate therapies for patients.
- **Impact patient outcomes** – Accurate imaging is vital for proper disease management.
This issue poses a serious risk to patients relying on diagnostic imaging for their treatment plans. Medical professionals must take action to mitigate these risks immediately.
