Powerhead control in a power injection system

A contrast media injector system comprising:

• a processor;
• a non-volatile storage coupled with the processor;
• an application stored within the non-volatile storage configured to execute on said processor to:
• display a graphical element on a connected display screen, the graphical element corresponding to a syringe for a particular fluid;
• and;
• control a color of the graphical element on the display screen based on the particular fluid.

A powerhead for a contrast media injector system comprising:

• a drive mechanism for operating a syringe ram according to a control signal from a control circuit;
• a receiver located local to the control circuit and coupled to the control circuit;
• and
• a remote control having a transmitter located remotely from the receiver and configured to wirelessly transmit a command to the receiver related to moving the syringe ram, wherein the receiver forwards the command to the control circuit.

An injector system comprising:

• a powerhead configured to control delivery of a fluid via a syringe, comprising a syringe drive for driving a syringe for injection of fluid in accordance with a sequence of steps;
• a display on said powerhead configured to provide an interactive user interface, said display capable of presenting a display in one of at least two orientations;
• and
• a controller within said powerhead for controlling said powerhead through said sequence of steps, and generating display information for said display, said controller providing a display in a first orientation and/or scale during a first of said sequence of steps and generating display information for said display in a second orientation and/or scale during a second of said sequence of steps.

A contrast media injector system comprising:

• a processor;
• a non-volatile storage coupled with the processor;
• an application stored within the non-volatile storage configured to execute on said processor to:
• display on a connected display screen, an identification of a fluid type contained in a syringe mounted to said injector;
• and
• modify the identification of fluid type in said display based upon operator input.

A method of displaying stored injection parameters in a contrast media injector system comprising:

• displaying on a connected display screen of said injector system, an identification of each of a plurality of stored sets of injection parameters;
• displaying on said display screen, an identification of a group, and an association of each of said displayed sets of injection parameters with said group;
• and
• displaying on said display screen, identifications of additional groups.
