Trends in Contrast Media Injection Systems

Over the past few years, the trends in automated imaging contrast media injection systems have included the conversion from single- to dual-head injectors, the integration of data management systems and improved patient safety features.

Contrast Echo Can Dramatically Improve Detection of Heart Disease

Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) can "dramatically improve" physicians' ability to detect heart disease and stratify future risk, said Thomas Porter, M.D., at the 16th European Symposium on Ultrasound Contrast Imaging in Rotterdam.

Contrast Injectors Cut Dose, Keep Quality

Automated contrast media injectors are used in cardiac imaging to help improve patient safety and enhance image quality. These devices can control contrast dosage, record the amount used, speed injections to keep up with faster computed tomography...
