To synchronize contrast agent administration and measurement, you can couple the MR scanner and the injector. Please note: You can only use injectors that are This allows you to start the injection in a precisely released to be coupled with your MR system. timed manner and to retrieve information about completion of injection. Please note: You still have the full control over CH the injector and always trigger the donation of contrast manually. 3 Effective Date: 08/28/2020| HOOD05162003110487 Unrestricted © Siemens Healthineers, 2020 Injector Coupling – SIEMENS Healthineers Prerequisites MR XA30 Software with ISI Bayer MRXperion Injector with ISI box New Bayer Injector Console Software Interface The Imaging System Interface The ISI box is located next to the It’s software was extended to (ISI) allows you to connect to a injector console.
