The disclosure provides pendant fatty acid compounds for use in diagnostic imaging, (particularly the cardiovascular system), as well as kits comprised of the same. The disclosure also provides for a method administering a imaging agent with a high specificity for the myocardium.
The disclosure provides pendant fatty acid compounds for use in diagnostic imaging, (particularly the cardiovascular system), as well as kits comprised of the same. The compounds comprise a metal chelating agent bound to a radionuclide carbonyl ligand, which is pendantly bound to a fatty acid. The disclosure also provides for a method administering an imaging agent with a high specificity for the myocardium.
