Injection of Contrast

The intravenous injection of contrast IS the perfusion picture.

If the contrast infiltrates, the amount of contrast is diminished - so is the perfusion picture.

If the contrast infiltrates, the rate of the perfusion time is altered - so is the perfusion picture.

Bad venipuncture adversely affects infusion and perfusion.

21cVA Technique for Injection of Contrast reduces all the risks of impaired infusion and perfusion.

A good venipuncture and injection of contrast yields
