Abstract

Provided is a method for delivering a medical fluid. The method includes administering a test injection at a preselected total volumetric flowrate for a preselected duration. The preselected total volumetric flowrate of the test injection is substantially maintained throughout the preselected duration of the test injection and is substantially similar to an anticipated total volumetric flowrate of the fluid to be administered during at least a first phase of a diagnostic injection protocol. The method further includes performing a test scan of one or more regions of interest of the patient, determining a patient response function for the patient for each of the one or more regions of interest based, at least in part, on the enhancement output, and determining a diagnostic injection protocol based at least in part upon the patient response function from each of the one or more regions of interest.
