Claim Text:
1. An apparatus for detecting extravasation of an injection fluid infused into tissue, comprising: a first energy source emitting an energy, wherein the first energy source comprises a source of X-ray energy or gamma ray energy; a first sensor and at least a second sensor, circuitry configured to compare the level of energy detected by the first sensor and the at least a second sensor to a baseline measurement, wherein the circuitry detects extravasation in real time with fluid injection when a threshold value of change in activity from the baseline measurement is detected in the level of energy detected by the at least a first sensor or the threshold value of change in activity from the baseline measurement is detected in the level of energy detected by the at least a second sensor and provides an alert that extravasation is occurring.
