    Abstract: A fluid delivery system and method for determining whether the correct fluid is being drawn into and/or dispensed from a syringe. The system includes a syringe, a fluid injector for drawing fluid into and dispensing fluid from the syringe, one or more sensors adapted to measure a force required to draw the fluid into and/or dispense the fluid from the syringe, a processor in communication with the one or more sensors, and a non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium in operable communication with the processor. The computer-readable storage medium contains one or more programming instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to receive from the one or more sensors one or more measurements of the force required to draw the fluid into and/or dispense the fluid from the syringe and determine from the one or more measurements whether a correct fluid is being drawn into and/or dispensed from the syringe.

    Abstract: Described is a method of providing an estimate of radiation dose received by a patient during an imaging scan performed by an imaging system. The method includes receiving patient information about the patient, receiving scan data generated during the imaging scan of the patient by the imaging system, creating a virtual dose model of the patient based upon the patient information and the scan data, receiving a selection of a region of interest of the patient, performing a dose simulation on the virtual dose model of the patient or a portion thereof, and determining, based upon an outcome of the dose simulation, an estimate of the radiation dose received within the region of interest. The imaging scan can be a partial imaging scan of a portion of the patient. Also provided is a system and software for carrying out this method.
