Computed Tomography

Study to test the usability of a new injector to administer contrast media into humans for diagnostic purposes

Trial purpose

This study investigates if a new medical device, which injects contrast media and flushing solution into humans to increase the visibility of images taken of the human body for diagnostic purposes, is easier to handle, quicker and cheaper than an older injector.
