Proactive Air Management in CT Power Injections: A Comprehensive Approach to Reducing Air Embolization

Conclusion: Comparison of the injected air volumes show that a system with a proactive air management approach injected significantly less air compared to tested systems employing reactive approaches. Significance- The results indicate that the use of a proactive approach could significantly reduce the prevalence of observable, and potentially artifact-inducing, venous air embolism in contrast-enhanced CT procedures.
