Official wording

Reason: Hitachi discovered a software error in the Reconstruction Status function that creates a potential risk that a patient study will not be fully reconstructed. When multiple reconstructions are queued for processing, if a queue is suspended and the task order changed, the second queue may not reconstruct the full range of slices. This may result in missing diagnostic data.
