Abstract

Described is an injector system for implementing a split bolus injection procedure. The injector system includes a processor and a non-transitory storage medium having programming instructions storedtherein that, when executed by the processor, enable the injector system to operate as a parameter generation system for use in determining parameters associated with a split bolus injection protocolvia which injection of the contrast agent by the injector system is controlled. The split bolus injection protocol includes at least a loading injection and a diagnostic injection, wherein the loadinginjection is performed before the diagnostic injection, and wherein a pause separates the loading injection from the diagnostic injection. Also described is a method for patient imaging using a splitbolus injection technique and a system having an imaging device and the injector system described above.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 520,728, filed June 16, 2017, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0003] Embodiments of the present disclosure relate generally to systems and methods for fluid delivery, and in particular to systems and methods for delivering contrast media to patients using split-bolus technology. Background technique [0004] Contrast-based medical imaging is an essential diagnostic tool widely used in hospitals and medical facilities around the world. An undesired side effect of such imaging is exposing the patient to ionizing radiation that the patient would not otherwise receive. According to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), a chest or abdominal CT scan exposes the patient to 5 to 20 mSv compared to less than 0.1 mSv in an ordinary chest x-ray. Unfortunately, reducing the exposure in the ...
