Abstract:
Methods of preparing solid apatite particles using a microfluidizer, for use in medical diagnostic imaging such as magnetic resonance imaging, X-ray, and ultrasound. The desired apatite particles are synthesized, passed through a microfluidizer, and purified to remove excess base, salts, and other materials used to synthesize the particles. The microfluidizer causes two high pressure streams to interact at ultra high velocities in a precisely defined microchannel. Microfluidization of preparations causes small (

Abstract:
Treated calcium/oxyanion-containing particles are disclosed for enhancing medical diagnostic imaging such as magnetic resonance imaging ("MRI"), magnetic resonance spectroscopy ("MRS"), magnetic resonance spectroscopy imaging ("MRSI"), X-ray diagnostic imaging, and ultrasound imaging. Novel coating and manufacturing techniques are disclosed to control particle size and particle aggregation resulting in compositions for organ specific imaging of the liver, spleen, or tissue disease states is obtained. Depending on the diagnostic imaging technique, calcium/oxyanion-containing particles are treated to be paramagnetic, radiopaque, or echogenic. Also disclosed are diagnostic compositions and methods of performing medical diagnostic procedures which involve administering to a warm-blooded animal a diagnostically effective amount of the above-described particles and then performing the medical diagnostic procedure.
