Official wording

Reason: After upgrading to 3.6.7 software version via FCO72800643, during reconstruction of gated helical scans, the planned anatomy can be cut off on the CT images. This issue can occur on gated CT helical reconstruction that is not planned at iso-center (0,0). If the region of interest is not visualized in the images, a CT rescan may be performed.
