MRI, CT and Contrast Injector Resources
Reference material for the equipment you run. Every link below is a page we keep current.
Contrast Injectors
Contrast Injector Reference
Which Kit, Which Injector
Most of the questions we get are the same two: which syringe fits the injector in the room, and how long that injector will still be supported. Both have an answer on this site rather than in a phone queue.
Call (615) 479-5572 if the answer is not here, and we will add it.
Match an injector to the syringe kit it takes, by manufacturer and model. Start here if you are ordering consumables for a room you have not bought for before. Open the guide.
Look up an OEM part number and find the equivalent we stock. Useful when you have a number off an old box and nothing else. Open the cross-reference.
When support ends for Stellant, Spectris and the rest, and what that means for a room you still rely on. See the dates.
The codes a Stellant throws, what each one actually means, and which are a service call rather than a reset. Open the code list.
CT and MRI Reference
Reading the Fault
A fault code is only useful if it points at the right part of the chain. These pages cover the faults we see most on GE and Siemens systems, written so a tech can narrow it down before the call.
Hard-down CT faults and what each one usually is. CT troubleshooting, software issues and console and computer issues.
Where to start when an MRI stops scanning. MRI troubleshooting, software issues and computer issues.
Boil-off, fill intervals and when a cold head is the real problem. MRI helium fill and cold head replacement.
Preventive maintenance, calibration verification and the troubleshooting pages for Stellant and Spectris Solaris. Injector service and support.
Titanium Tool Reference
Sizes, Safety and What Fits
Buying MRI-safe tools for the first time raises the same questions every time: which sizes actually come up on a scanner, whether titanium is really safe at the magnet, and what will clear a carry-on. All three are answered here.
The sizes that come up most on Siemens and GE, which ones a standard set misses, and the measured carry-on lengths for every driver we sell. Open the size guide.
What MRI-safe actually means, and the one limitation worth knowing before you buy. Read it.
A first kit for someone who covers MRI occasionally rather than full time. See the list.
