3 |
Administration route of contrast agent |
|
Contrast/Bolus Administration Route Sequence |
(0018,0014) |
3 |
Sequence that identifies the route of administration of contrast agent. Only a single Item is permitted in this sequence. |
|
Baseline CID 11 “Route of Administration”. |
|||
|
>Additional Drug Sequence |
(0018,002A) |
3 |
Sequence that identifies any additional drug that is administered with the contrast agent bolus. One or more Items are permitted in this sequence. |
|
No Baseline CID is defined. |
|||
|
Contrast/Bolus Volume |
(0018,1041) |
3 |
Volume injected in milliliters of diluted contrast agent |
|
Contrast/Bolus Start Time |
(0018,1042) |
3 |
Time of start of injection |
|
Contrast/Bolus Stop Time |
(0018,1043) |
3 |
Time of end of contrast injection |
|
Contrast/Bolus Total Dose |
(0018,1044) |
3 |
Total amount in milliliters of the undiluted contrast agent |
|
Contrast Flow Rate |
(0018,1046) |
3 |
Rate(s) of injection(s) in milliliters/sec |
|
Contrast Flow Duration |
(0018,1047) |
3 |
Duration(s) of injection(s) in seconds. Each Contrast Flow Duration value shall correspond to a value of Contrast Flow Rate (0018,1046). |
|
Contrast/Bolus Ingredient |
(0018,1048) |
3 |
Active ingredient of agent. Defined Terms:
|
|
Contrast/Bolus Ingredient Concentration |
(0018,1049) |
3 |
Milligrams of active ingredient per milliliter of (diluted) agent |
Flow duration is an alternate method of specifying stop time
Flow rate allows for stepped injections by being capable of multiple values (1,N) instances.
For a 100 ml injection of 76% Diatrizoate and meglumine/sodium, diluted 1:1,
the Contrast/Bolus Agent would be "76% Diatrizoate" as text
the Contrast/Bolus Volume would be 100 ml,
the Contrast/Bolus Total Dose would be 50 ml,
the Contrast/Bolus Ingredient would be "IODINE",
the Contrast/Bolus Ingredient Concentration would be 370mg/ml.
