What is a High Pressure Contrast Media Injector?

1. What are contrast high-pressure injectors and what are they used for?

In general, contrast agent high-pressure injectors are used to enhance blood and perfusion within the tissue by injecting a contrast agent or contrast media. They are commonly used in diagnostic and interventional radiology.

Healthcare professionals use it for imaging diagnostics. It consists of a syringe with a plunger and a pressure device. Contrast agent injection in imaging and interventional radiology ensures optimal clouding and characterization of normal anatomy, including arterial and venous anatomy as well as abnormal lesions. Today, some imaging and interventional studies require pressure injectors, such as CT (CT angiography, three-phase studies of abdominal organs, cardiac CT, post-stent analysis, perfusion CT, and MRI[enhanced magnetic resonance Angiography (MRA), cardiac MRI, and perfusion MRI].

1. So how does it work?

When a certain amount of contrast agent is loaded into the injector, a pressure device is used to increase the pressure in the syringe so that the plunger moves downward to deliver the contrast agent into the patient. injector pressure is precisely controlled by pump or air pressure, ensuring precise pressure and injection speed. During the injection process, the doctor can carefully observe the flow of the contrast agent and adjust the specifications according to the patient’s situation. This greatly facilitates the injection of contrast media.

In the past, medical personnel used hand-pushed CT /MRI/ angiography scans. The disadvantage is that the injection speed of the contrast agent can not be accurately controlled, the injection amount is uneven, and the injection force is larger. The use of high-pressure syringes can more easily and quickly inject the contrast agent into the patient, reducing the risk of waste and contamination of the contrast agent.

So far, LnkMed Medical has developed and produced a full range of contrast syringe :CT single injector, CT double head injector, MRI injector and Angiography injector. Each model is built by a team with extensive research and development experience, making it more intelligent, flexible and safe. Our CT, MRI, Angiography syringes are waterproof and communicate using Bluetooth (easy for the operator to install and use). It can better cooperate with different types of scanning imaging in various departments, and accurately preset the enhancement site, injection speed and total amount of contrast agent. The delay time. These reliable, economical and efficient features are the real reason why our products are so popular with customers and healthcare professionals. All of us at LnkMed want to contribute to the development of diagnostic imaging by continuously providing high-quality contrast agents to the market.
