摘要:
Oil-in-water emulsions in which the oil phase comprises condensed or dissolved oil-soluble gas/fluid or gas precursor are useful as ultrasound contrast agents. Such products contain insignificant amounts of free gas bubbles or microbubbles in their stored form and exhibit good storage stability, but may be designed to promote rapid microbubble generation immediately before or upon administration.
摘要:
On décrit des agents de contraste ultrasoniques présentant des microbulles d'un gaz ou d'un précurseur de gaz enrobées dans des fractions amphiphiliques réticulées ou polymérisées non protéiniques, par exemple sous la forme de micelles. Lesdits agents montrent une bonne stabilité in vivo lors de leur administration et peuvent, le cas échéant, renfermer des liaisons biodégradables leur conférant les niveaux de biodégradabilité voulus.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method of imaging of an animate human or non-human animal body, which method comprises: administering parenterally to said body a particulate material comprising a matrix or membrane material and at least one contrast generating species, which matrix or membrane material is responsive to a pre-selected physiological parameter whereby to alter the contrast efficacy of said species in response to a change in the value of said parameters; generating image data of at least part of said body in which said species is present; and generating therefrom a signal indicative of the value or variation of said parameter in said part of said body. The invention also relates to contrast media for imaging a physiological parameter.
摘要:
The invention relates to the use as contrast enhancing agents in medical imaging, especially X-ray imaging, of multinuclear complexes, i.e. complexes, such as those of W2O2(ν2O)2, in which the complexed entity comprises at least two contrast enhancing atoms.
摘要:
Physiologically acceptable organic aerogels, including pyrolysed aerogels, for use in medicine, for example as diagnostic agents, artificial tissues, organs and organ components etc., and in particular in drug delivery systems. Use of biodegradable organic aerogels, which are themselves novel materials, is preferred e.g. for materials such as diagnostic and therapeutic agents for parenteral administration.
摘要:
There are provided heterocyclic chelating agents particularly useful for the preparation of diagnostic and therapeutic agents for magnetic resonance imaging, scintigraphy, ultrasound imaging, radiotherapy and heavy metal detoxification, said agents being compounds of formula (I) (wherein X represents a bond, an oxygen or sulphur atom or a group of formula CHR?1 or NR3¿; each R1 which may be the same or different represents a hydrogen atom, a group of formula OR?3 or NR3R3¿ or an alkyl or alkoxyalkyl group optionally substituted by a hydroxyl group or by a group of formula NR3R3 or CONR3R3; each R2 which may be the same or different represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl or alkoxy group optionally substituted by a hydroxyl or alkoxy group; each R3 which may be the same or different represents a hydrogen atom, an optionally hydroxylated alkyl group or a group of formula CH¿2?Y; Y represents a group of formula COZ, CON(OH)R?4, POZ¿2 or SO2Z; Z represents a group of formula OR?4, Nr4R4¿ or (II) where each R11 which may be the same or different is a hydrogen atom, a hydroxyl group or an optionally hydroxylated alkyl group, s is 0, 1 or 2, and W is a group CHR?11, NR11¿ or an oxygen atom; and each R4 which may be the same or different represents a hydrogen atom or an optionally mono- or poly hydroxylated alkyl, alkoxyalkyl or polyalkoxyalkyl group; with the provisos that where s is 0 then W is a CHR11 group and that where X represents a bond or a group CHR1 at least one group R1 or R2 represents other than a hydrogen atom or an unsubstituted alkyl group) and chelate complexes and salts thereof.
摘要:
Agents de contraste comportant des microparticules glucidiques aptes à générer des microbulles et mélangées à un acide organique amphiphile contenant plus de 20 atomes de carbone. Lesdits agents de contraste présentent une bonne stabilité et/ou un effet de contraste amélioré, et peuvent s'utiliser dans les applications diagnostiques telles que l'imagerie par ultrasons et par résonance magnétique.
摘要:
L'invention concerne l'utilisation, comme agents d'amélioration du contraste en imagerie médicale, notamment en radiographie, de complexes multinucléaires, c'est-à-dire de complexes tels que ceux de formule W2O2(mu2O)2, dans lesquels l'entité composite comprend au moins deux atomes améliorant le contraste.
