Abstract: A fluid injection system including an injector head having a syringe for delivering a fluid to a patient, a mounting structure pivotally connected to the injector head and configured to support the injector head above a surface, and a control system operationally coupled to the injector head for controlling an injection procedure is disclosed. The fluid injection system is provided with sensors to control various aspects of the fluid injection system, such as the establishment of a reference plane, the determination of a tilt angle of the injector head, and the determination of a temperature of an actuation system of the injector head.

Abstract: A system for injecting a multi-component fluid into a patient includes a syringe and at least one agitation element moveable within the syringe to agitate the fluid. The agitation element includes surface structures to create vortices/mixing in the vicinity of the agitation element. An agitation element can also include surface structures to reduce the area of contact between the agitation element and another surface (for example, the interior wall of the syringe). An agitation element may also include a coating that includes at least one component of the multi-component fluid to be released into the fluid. A system for injecting a multi-component fluid into a patient includes a syringe and at least two agitating elements moveable within the syringe to agitate the fluid. A first one of the agitating elements has a density greater than a density of the fluid, and a second on of the agitating elements has a density less than the density of the fluid.
