Clear Direction. Mobility, Simplicity and Reliability.
The MEDRAD® Salient Contrast Injection System has been engineered to deliver safety and performance.

What is MEDRAD® Salient?
MEDRAD® Salient is a contrast media injection system designed for use during basic CT examinations, including contrast enhanced mammography. It is available* as single head and dual head system. MEDRAD® Salient Dual can flush with saline while the single head system injects contrast media only.

How does MEDRAD® Salient work?
An icon-driven, user-friendly interface allows clinicians to easily create customized protocols –up to 6 phases. The cordless configuration of MEDRAD® Salient means greater mobility without the need for electrical or data cables. Compared to a single head injector system, MEDRAD® Salient Dual provides improved peak contrast enhancement and controlled timing of contrast bolus1.
