1. An injector system for injection of a fluid medium into a patient within an electromagnetic isolation area, the injector system comprising:

  • a powered injector positioned within the isolation area;

    a first communication unit positioned within the isolation unit and associated with the powered injector so that the first communication unit and the powered injector can be moved as a unit; and

    a system controller positioned outside the isolation area, the system controller comprising an operator interface and a second communication unit, the first communication unit being adapted to communicate with the second communication unit by transmission of energy through the air, the energy being chosen to not create substantial interference with a magnetic resonance imaging scanner.
