  • Patent number: 6673033
    Abstract: An injector for use in injecting a fluid in a medical injection procedure includes a drive mechanism to pressurize the fluid; a sensor to measure a variable that is proportional to fluid pressure (that is, a direct or indirect measurement of fluid pressure); and a pressure monitor (for example, including hardwired circuitry and/or software) in communication with the sensor and the drive mechanism to stop the injection procedure when the sensor measures a value of the variable that corresponds to a pressure hazard limit. Preferably, the pressure monitor further limits power input to the drive mechanism to a power limit once the variable reaches a value that corresponds to a power limiting pressure that is below the pressure hazard limit.

  • Publication number: 20030216643
    Abstract: A fluid injection arrangement, particularly involving a systematic fluid injection programming capability, in the context of patient imaging systems, in which phases of contrast medium injection and flushing medium injection can be freely and selectably ordered so as to make available to the operator and patient a vast array of possible protocols than has hitherto been essentially unattainable. Also contemplated is the use of a “hold” phase, involving an indefinite pause between phases of a protocol, in connection with such imaging systems. Further contemplated is the use of a “pause” phase in which a pause of fixed duration is pre-programmed into the protocols of MRI injector systems. Additionally contemplated is an internal stopwatch function operable to measure the duration of contrast medium propagation towards determining a scan delay, or for other purposes where such a function may be of benefit.

  • Publication number: 20030050555
    Abstract: An improved magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) injection system exhibits decreased electromagnetic interference (EMI) and improved mobility. The injector apparatus of the injection system includes a head assembly with at least one drive piston and a base assembly including the motor control circuitry and drive motors necessary to control the injector. The electronics in the base assembly are designed to reduce EMI with the magnetic field of the MRI system by employing Faraday cages and various circuit design and filtering techniques. The head assembly of the injector apparatus may also include a hand switch for local control of the injector.
