Question

difference between bolus injection n infusion injection​

Answer 1

Answer:

Bolus injections result in a rapid increase in signal intensity until a plateau is reached and there is then a gradual decay in contrast concentration, the rate of which varies in each patient. There is a theoretical point at which there is a ‘steady-state’ concentration of contrast, but this cannot be predicted because peak signal intensity is affected by numerous factors including, for example, cardiac output and the rate of injection of contrast. Bolus injections are acceptable for studies in which the aim is to improve endocardial border delineation (EBD), perform left ventricular opacification (LVO) or enhance Doppler signals. We recommend that it is avoided during perfusion studies, when an infusion is preferable.

Continuous infusion provides a steady state concentration of microbubbles and reduces the likelihood of artefacts. It also allows calculation of myocardial blood flow, as both myocardial blood volume and microbubble velocity can be calculated if there is a steady-state concentration of contrast. Continuous infusions can also be used for EBD or LVO purposes but are mandatory for perfusion imaging.
