Description
Intelligent, Intuitive, Innovative: Confidence Through Patient-centered Care and Efficiency.
The Medrad® Stellant® CT injection system with Certegra® Workstation delivers new levels of efficiency and patient-centered care in CT imaging. An integral part of Bayer’s CT imaging solution, the scalable informatics ready solution offers radiation dose management and Contrast Dose Management™ options—complete with injector interfacing between the scanner, PACS, RIS, and speech recognition systems. We support our CT solution with VirtualCare® Remote Support and flexible support service programs to meet your changing needs.
The Certegra® Workstation is the cornerstone of the Bayer Certegra® @ Point of Care application, the industry’s first1 Contrast Dose Management™ Solution. The data you need is centrally mobilized and instantly available.
Enhanced Protocol Management and Precision Timing
Our workflow-centralized interface gives technologists point of care tools to efficiently manage injection protocols for enhanced visualization in complex CT angiography and cardiac CT studies.
Enhanced Protocol Management
- Storage and recall of up to 250 protocols
- Designed for complex CTA and Cardiac CT protocols
- Creates a tight contrast bolus
- Enables precisely timed contrast delivery
- Ability to add Certegra® P3T® 2.0 technology to drive personalized patient protocol standardization through new capabilities, including presets for radiologist-preferred protocols and the ability to save and recall P3T software protocols
Dual Syringe Utilization Benefits
Uniform Enhancement
Clinical benefits of injecting contrast and saline at different ratios to visualize the whole heart. Clinical research has shown that simultaneous injection of contrast and saline, in user-selected ratios, can¹:
The informatics ready injection system includes patented DualFlow technology and integrated saline flush. See the video below.
- Provide more uniform attenuation of the right and left ventricles
- Minimize artifacts by achieving proper attenuation levels
- Visualize the right coronary arteries and right ventricles in a single study by achieving more uniform attenuation
DualFlow can provide the ability to perform simultaneous injection of contrast and saline with the Medrad® Stellant® D Injection System.
