Abstract:
1. A method of controlling a local application of drugs to a part of a body of a patient during a CT scan, wherein the drugs are transported in containers suitable for introduction into a bloodstream of the patient; wherein the containers prevent an application of the drugs; wherein a first drug is transported in a first container, wherein a second drug is transported in a second container; wherein the first container has a first resonance frequency; wherein the second container has a second resonance frequency; and wherein the first resonance frequency is different from the second resonance frequency; the method comprising the steps of: applying the first container and the second container to the bloodstream of the patient; monitoring a heart beat rate of the patient during the CT scan; and selectively rupturing at least one of the first container and the second container in proximity to the part of the body on the basis of the monitored heart beat rate, resulting in a local application of at least one of the first drug and the second drug respectively to the part of the body and a controlled change of the heart beat rate of the patient to reduce variations in the heart beat rate during the CT scan.
