4. Clinical Information
4.1. Cannula and Needle Selection
Cannulas or I.V. catheters are the preferred choice for injecting contrast agents with powered injectors. The
following chart shows the maximum flow rate that is possible with typical gauge cannulas. However, operating
the injector at or close to maximum flow rate may lead to adapted (reduced) flow, which may result in sub-
optimum images.
