    摘要: Ultrasonic visualisation of a suject, particularly of perfusion in the myocardium and other tissues, is performed using novel gas-containing contrast agent preparations which promote controllable and temporary growth of the gas phase in vivo following administration and can therefore act as deposited perfusion tracers. The preparations include a coadministerable composition comprising a diffusible component capable of inward diffusion into the dispersed gas phase to promote temporary growth thereof. In cardiac perfusion imaging the preparations may advantageously be coadministered with vasodilator drugs such as adenosine in order to enhance the differences in return signal intensity from normal and hypoperfused myocardial tissue respectively.

    摘要: An contrast agent for therapeutic or diagnostic treatment comprises a fullerene scaffold and an iodinated moiety bonded to the scaffold. The agent may further comprise a water solubilizing moiety bonded to the scaffold, which may be a serinol malonodiamide, hydroxyl, and 1,3-diol. The fullerene scaffold may comprise an empty fullerene or an endohedral fullerene. A method for making the agent includes a) synthesizing iodinating moieties, b) protecting serinols, forming protected serinols, c) attaching the protected serinols to the iodinated moieties, forming iodinated serinols, d) attaching the iodinated serinols to the fullerene scaffold, and, optionally, d) de-protecting the serinols. Also disclosed are a method for providing diagnostic treatment to a patient comprising administering to said patient a radiopaque effective amount of a contrast agent comprising a fullerene scaffold and an iodinated moiety, a method of making a blood pool agent.

    摘要: In accordance with the present invention, there are provided methods for identifying the sentinel lymph node in a drainage field for a tissue or organ in a subject. In select embodiments, the invention allows for the identification of the first or sentinel lymph node that drains the tissue or organ, particularly those tissues associated with neoplastic or infectious diseases and disorders, and within the pertinent lymph drainage basin. Once the drainage basin from the tissue or organ, i.e., the sentinel lymph node, is identified, a pre-operative or intraoperative mapping of the affected lymphatic structure can be carried out with a contrast agent. Identification of the first or sentinel lymph node, on the most direct drainage pathway in the drainage field, can be accomplished by a variety of imaging techniques, including ultrasound, MRI, CT, nuclear and others. Moreover, once the lymphatic structure is identified as being associated with neoplastic or infectious diseases and disorders, the affected lymphatic structure can be removed surgically or by a suitable minimally invasive procedure to allow pathological analysis to be performed to determine whether certain diseases or disorders exist, without resort to more radical lymphadenectomy. Further, the agent can be made to carry diagnostic or therapeutic probes to be activated and/or delivered to the injection site or any part of the lymphatic pathway downstream from the injection site.
