  • Publication number: 20080154197
    Abstract: A system and method for injecting a fluid into a patient is disclosed. In some embodiments, the system comprises a plurality of sensors that measure a characteristic of the fluid, a first temperature regulator that biases the fluid temperature to a desired temperature range, a second temperature regulator that refines the temperature of the fluid, and logic coupled to the first and second temperature regulators and configured to dynamically adjust the first and second temperature regulators based, at least in part, on feedback from the plurality of sensors.
