◼  INJECTORS Beyond the scanner Bayer’s comprehensive solution for integrated diagnostic imaging of liver lesions in one single diagnostic work-up.2 In CT, Ultravist® is an iodine-con- taining X-ray contrast agent, approved for all modern CT techniques with a track record of more than 200 million proce- dures worldwide and more than 15 million administrations every year. However, in spite of these impressive facts, we at Bay- er think that the success story of contrast media in radiology has not yet (cid:31) nished. Hence Bayer is one of the very few man- ufacturers worldwide that still invests in research and development of new con- trast media. Injection the smart way The angiographic injector Bayer-MEDRAD Mark 7 Arterion: light, easy to use with a clear user interface and multiple con(cid:30) guration in order to provide (cid:31) exibility As a true Life Science company and reliable partner Bayer is com- mitted to your diagnostic con(cid:31) dence and operational e(cid:30) ciency. We are constantly developing products, tools and services that improve diagnostic imaging beyond the scanner: optimized con- trast administration and work(cid:29) ow are at the core of our o(cid:28) erings with contrast media, smart injection devices, informatics solutions that help to analyze and take action all topped by our excellent and renowned customer service. Contrast media power your outcome Contrast media are powerful and well-established diagnostic tools in MRI as well as in CT. In MRI, Bayer’s contrast medium Gadovist® has contributed substantially to the advance of new MRI techniques, such as fast dynamic MRI which requires a tight bolus of contrast medium to produce an optimal signal.1 Primovist® is a liver-speci(cid:31) c contrast agent for MRI which allows detection and characterization injection systems Power in diagnostic imaging and interventional radiology have largely contributed to optimized diagnos- tic e(cid:30) cacy and con(cid:31) dence. Today, many imaging and interventional studies in CT and MRI require such injection systems, for example angiography, three-phase liver studies, pre- and post-stent analysis, and perfusion studies of the brain. As a developer and man- ufacturer of power injection systems, Bayer combines diverse scien- ti(cid:31) c areas such as computer science, advanced electronics, physics, and chemistry to develop injection systems that constantly deliver optimal imaging results. Bayer o(cid:28) ers a wide range of injectors tai- lored to meet the speci(cid:31) c requirements of CT, MRI and nuclear med- icine. In angiography, the new Medrad® Mark 7 Arterion Injection System takes advantage of the latest technologies, making it light, maneuverable, and easy to use, while the (cid:29) exible Medrad® Avanta Fluid Management Injection System increases diagnostic precision as well as patient safety during cardiac imaging procedures. The Medrad® MRXperion is a smart, new performer in the MRI suite, deliv- ering con(cid:31) dence and peace of mind through innovative contrast delivery and management. In nuclear medicine, the Medrad® Intego PET infusion system reduces clinicians radiation exposure, improves personalized patient care and drives operational e(cid:30) ciency. 38 RADBOOK 2017
