  • DEVICES AND METHODS FOR MODULATING MEDIUM DELIVERY
    Publication number: 20150202361
    Abstract: A method includes establishing an initial resistive force on a contrast fluid in a contrast delivery modulation component and injecting the contrast fluid into the patient with an injection syringe fluidly connected to the injection catheter and the contrast fluid inlet port of the contrast delivery modulation component. A contrast delivery measurement component is used to assess a total volume of the contrast fluid injected into the patient and a resistive force imparted upon the contrast fluid in the chamber.
