Contrast administration data that relates to operation of a contrast media injector system (602) may be converted from at least one format (e.g., a CAN-compliant format) to at least one other format (e.g., an HL-7-compliant format) for use by a medical system (600). Data on contrast media prescribed for an imaging operation using an imaging system (690), data on contrast media dispensed from a contrast media storage/dispensing unit (500) for use in this imaging operation, and data on contrast media actually administered/injected by a contrast media injector system (602) for this imaging operation may be stored in a data structure (780). Patient renal function data may be used to control the dispensing of contrast media from the contrast media/storage/dispensing unit (500), to control the operation of the contrast media injector system (602), or both, and may be stored in the data structure (780) as well.
