| abstract |
Contrast administration data that relates to operation of a contrast media injector system ( 602 ) may be converted from at least one format (e.g., a CAN-compliant format) to at least one other format (e.g., an HL-7-compliant format) for use by a medical system ( 600 ). Data on contrast media prescribed for an imaging operation using an imaging system ( 690 ), data on contrast media dispensed from a contrast media storage/dispensing unit ( 500 ) for use in this imaging operation, and data on contrast media actually administered/injected by a contrast media injector system ( 602 ) for this imaging operation may be stored in a data structure ( 780 ). Patient renal function data may be used to control the dispensing of contrast media from the contrast media/storage/dispensing unit ( 500 ), to control the operation of the contrast media injector system ( 602 ), or both, and may be stored in the data structure ( 780 ) as well. |
