Official wording

Reason: It was reported that scanners running certain software versions provide confusing information in the "Impressions" section of the Calcium Score report. The generated report provides multiple analyses of the amount of plaque detected, as if they all apply to the patient at the same time. This misleading guidance can be potentially misleading to the user, and may lead to mistreatment of the patient.
