ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for the detection of extravasation in an imaging procedure includes at least a first source of energy to supply imaging energy to tissue in the vicinity of a site and at least a first sensor to measure a signal resulting from the energy supplied to the tissue by the first imaging energy source. In preferred embodiment, the energy may be one of X-ray, gamma ray or ultrasound energy.
