摘要:
Treated apatite particles are disclosed for enhancing medical diagnostic imaging such as magnetic resonance imaging ("MRI"), magnetic resonance spectroscopy ("MRS"), magnetic resonance spectroscopy imaging (37 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, gastrointestinal tract, or tissue disease states is obtained. Depending on the diagnostic imaging technique, apatite particles are treated to be paramagnetic, radiopaque, or echogenic. The apatite particles may also be fluorinated to form stable fluoroapatite compositions useful for .sup.19 F imaging. 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 abovedescribed apatite particles and then performing the medical diagnostic procedure.

摘要:
Methods and compositions are disclosed for enhancing .sup.19 F magnetic resonance imaging which utilize .sup.19 F magnetic resonance contrast media having enhanced .sup.19 F relaxivity. Fluorine-containing compounds having enhanced .sup.19 F relaxation properties resulting from direct association with an unpaired spin are disclosed. The fluorine-containing compound is associated with the unpaired spin by covalent attachment of a stable free radical, by complexation of a fluorinated complexing agent with a paramagnetic metal ion, or by salt formation or charge neutralization of a paramagnetic ion.
摘要:
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 (
