This week, the IAEA organized a virtual meeting to address the progress in mitigating radiation-related risks for patients requiring frequent medical imaging, while ensuring the preservation of benefits. At the meeting, attendees discussed strategies to bolster patient protection guidelines and i...
The IAEA is urging medical practitioners to improve patient safety by transitioning from manual to digital methods of monitoring ionizing radiation during imaging procedures, as detailed in its initial publication on the subject. The new IAEA Safety Report on Patient Radiation Exposure Monitoring...
The previous article (titled “The Potential Risks of High Pressure Injector Use during a CT Scan“) talked about the possible risks of high-pressure syringes in CT scans. So how to deal with these risks? This article will answer you one by one.
Potential Risk 1: Contrast media allergy...
Today is a summary of the potential dangers when using high-pressure injectors.
Why do CT scans require high-pressure injectors?
Due to the need for diagnosis or differential diagnosis, enhanced CT scanning is an essential examination method. With the continuous updating of CT equipment, scanning...
A recently published study in the American Journal of Radiology indicates that MRI may be the most cost-effective imaging modality for evaluating patients presenting to the emergency department with dizziness, especially when considering downstream costs.
A group led by Long Tu, MD, PhD, from Ya...
During enhanced CT examination, the operator usually uses a high-pressure injector to quickly inject the contrast agent into the blood vessels, so that the organs, lesions and blood vessels that need to be observed can be displayed more clearly. The high pressure injector can quickly and accurate...
Medical imaging often helps to successfully diagnose and treat cancerous growths. In particular, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is widely used due to its high resolution, especially with contrast agents.
A new study published in the journal Advanced Science reports on a new self-folding nanosc...
High pressure injectors are widely used in clinical cardiovascular contrast examinations, CT enhanced contrast scans and MR enhanced scans for examination and treatment. The high pressure injector can ensure that the contrast agent is concentratedly injected into the patient’s cardiovascula...
First, let ‘s understand what interventional surgery is.
Interventional surgery generally uses angiography machines, image guidance equipment, etc. to guide the catheter to the diseased site for dilation and treatment.
Interventional treatments, also known as radiosurgery, can minim...
In the field of medical investment in the past year, the field of innovative devices has recovered faster than the continued downturn of innovative drugs.
“Six or seven companies have already submitted their IPO declaration forms, and everyone wants to do something big this year.R...
Contrast media are a group of chemical agents developed to aid in the characterization of pathology by improving the contrast resolution of an imaging modality. Specific contrast media have been developed for every structural imaging modality, and every conceivable route of administration.
Contr...
New injector technology for CT, MRI and Angiography systems helps reduce dose and automatically records contrast used for the patient record.
Recently, more and more hospitals successfully cut costs by using contrast injectors designed with advanced technology in reducing contrast waste and auto...
