Abstract: A power injector is disclosed having power injector control logic, which in turn includes a decay constant cross-reference, for instance in the form of a data structure. Flow rate decay constant information may be stored by the decay constant cross-reference. A decay constant, which may be used by the power injector to generate an exponentially decaying flow rate for an injection, may be stored in the decay constant cross-reference in conjunction with a particular imaging unit. The decay constant cross-reference may be searched by entering a model or module number of an imaging unit to identify the corresponding flow rate decay constant to be used by the power injector.

Abstract: A power injector (154) is disclosed that may utilize decay constant determination logic (192). This logic (192) in turn may incorporate a test injection protocol (194). The test injection protocol (194) may be executed to acquire data for the derivation of a flow rate decay constant. The derived flow rate decay constant may be used by the power injector (154) to execute of an injection protocol (162), for instance in conjunction with an operation of an imaging unit (152) for an imaging operation.
