LLLL Imaging Agent Administration Report
Template (Informative)
LLLL.1 Purpose of this Annex
This Annex describes some use cases of the contrast agent administration reporting. The contrast agent administration report object records the planned and performed delivery of contrast agents.
A Planned Imaging Agent Administration SR object is intended for representing the plan or program to deliver contrast agent to the patient for a contrast study. It could be prepared and customized for a patient by the radiologist, prior to the study. The plan may also be altered by the operating technologist prior to the study. For example, the injection plan might be adjusted for patient's condition such as weight. The plan is then loaded into the injector system to be performed.
A Performed Imaging Agent Administration SR object is for reporting the actual program that was used to deliver the contrast agent during the study. During the study, the contrast-delivery system may alter the original delivery plan as a result of events that occur during the delivery of Imaging Agent such as limiting the flow rate due to high pressure, aborting the injection due to adverse events, etc. The Performed Image Agent Administration SR is then saved.
The infusion manager sends the Performed Imaging Agent Administration SR to the PACS and optionally to other destinations like an acquisition modality, RIS, or reporting system.
Figure LLLL.1-1 illustrates possible consumers of the Performed Imaging Agent Administration SR object (referred as "Imaging Agent Administration SR" in the figure) post administration.

Figure LLLL.1-1. Possible Consumers of the Performed Imaging Agent Administration SR Object
LLLL.2 Use Cases
Note
In the following use cases, the word event means a combination of injector and adverse events.
LLLL.2.1 Use Case 1 - Manual Bolus Injection
The use case shown in Figure LLLL.2-1 is an example of how a performed object can capture a manual contrast infusion. The oper- ator performs a manual administration of contrast for a study. The operator selects the patient from the contrast infusion manager (available through modality worklist) and reports the minimum parameters about the injection. The contrast infusion manager then generates a Performed Imaging Administration SR object and sends to the Contrast Usage Consumer such as PACS.
