Abstract
Described is an injector system for implementing a split bolus injection procedure. The injector system includes a processor and a non-transitory storage medium having programming instructions stored therein that, when executed by the processor, enable the injector system to operate as a parameter generation system for use in determining parameters associated with a split bolus injection protocol via which injection of the contrast agent by the injector system is controlled. The split bolus injection protocol includes at least a loading injection and a diagnostic injection, wherein the loading injection is performed before the diagnostic injection, and wherein a pause separates the loading injection from the diagnostic injection. Also described is a method for patient imaging using a split bolus injection technique and a system having an imaging device and the injector system described above.
