SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR INJECTING CONTRAST PRODUCTS
First Claim
1. A system for injecting contrast products comprising an imaging device suitable for viewing a contrast product in an area of interest, an injection mechanism, at least two reservoirs operatively associated with said injection mechanism, said reservoirs being designed to contain respectively at least one contrast product and one rinsing product;
- a control device, comprising programming means, which is operatively associated with the injection mechanism and capable of operating to selectively program one or more injection procedure phases;
the system being characterized in that it comprises a triggering member operatively associated with the control device and with the imaging device, said triggering member being designed to be activated when the contrast product is viewed in a region of interest.

Abstract
The invention concerns a system for injecting contrast product comprising an injecting mechanism, at least two reservoirs operatively associated with the injecting mechanism, said reservoirs being designed to contain at least one contrast product and one rinsing product respectively; and a control device comprising programming means, which is operatively associated with the injecting mechanism and capable of operating for programming selectively one or more injection process phases. The system is characterized in that it comprises a triggering member operatively associated with the control device so that the control device is capable of programming at least one injecting phase of the contrast product at a predetermined flow rate followed by a rinsing phase at another predetermined flow rate and a programmed duration for injecting the contrast product based on a signal given during the injection by said triggering member when the contrast product is visualized in a region of interest. The invention also concerns a method for using said system as well as various applications thereof.
