    摘要: An apparatus, system or method enables microbubbles to be created on demand for use as the contrast agent within a contrast medium administrable to a patient for purposes of a medical procedure. The system comprises a reservoir, a pressurizing device, a microbubble generator, and a controller. The reservoir stores a liquid. The pressurizing device conveys the liquid, along with the medium formed therewith, through the system. The microbubble generator is used to create the microbubbles within the liquid to form the medium. The microbubble generator has an inlet for receiving the liquid and an outlet for communication of the medium to the patient. The controller controls the operation of the system so that the microbubbles created by the microbubble generator are generated according to the demands of the medical procedure and are administrable within the medium to the patient.

    摘要: A system for processing cells is disclosed. The system may include a container having an inner wall, a plunger adapted to be slidably positioned within the container, at least one inlet port through which a fluid can enter the container, at least one outlet port through which a fluid can exit the container, at least one effluent port through which an effluent can exit the container, a first check valve in fluid connection with the inlet port and a second check valve in fluid connection with the effluent port. The plunger may include a filter that allows fluid to pass therethrough but prevents cells from passing therethrough. Rearward motion of the plunger may be adapted to draw fluid into the system via the inlet port and forward motion of the plunger may be adapted to force effluent out of the system via the effluent port.

    摘要: A method of controlling an injector system for delivering a contrast enhancing fluid to a patient. The method includes the step of determining at least one patient transfer function for the patient based upon data specific to the patient, with the at least one patient transfer function providing a time enhancement output for a given input. The data specific to the patent may include at least one of an estimate of physiologic parameters of the patient, an estimate of anatomic parameters of the patient and an enhancement caused by an injection of the contrast enhancing fluid into the patient. Other steps involve: determining a desired time enhancement output; using the at least one patient transfer function to determine an injection procedure input; and controlling the injector system at least in part on the basis of the determined injection procedure input.

    摘要: A detector system measures radioactive material. A fluid path receives at least one aliquot of radiopharmaceutical. The fluid path locates the aliquot within a positioner formed with a concave configuration. A detector is located at an axial distance from the concave surface and determines the level of radioactivity of the aliquot. Alternatively, the fluid path may be less concave and a variable attenuator may be placed between the fluid path and detector. The variable attenuator may have a concavity that is based on the concavity of the fluid path so that the detector's ability to read the radioactivity is optimized. A method for forming an aliquot of radiopharmaceutical in a concave fluid passage. Positioning a detector located a distance from the concave surface to optimize reading spectral energy of the aliquot and activity is determining activity regardless of the position of the aliquot in the passage.
