The present invention relates to a new composition comprising gas-filled microvesicles for contrast imaging which are particularly suitable for providing an effective echo response to at least two selected ultrasound waves having different frequencies. Said composition preferably comprises at least two different preparations of gas-filled microvesicles having respective peaks of non-linear echographic response differing by at least 2 MHz to each other, and preferably have respective size distributions with different median sizes. In particular, said preparations preferably have size distributions with respective DV50 values differing from each other by at least 0.5 μm, more preferably at least 1.0 μm. Alternatively, said composition has a volume size distribution showing a value of Bowley skewness of 0.16 or higher. According to a preferred embodiment, at least 95% of the total volume of gas contained in said microvesicles, calculated on the population of microvesicles up to a diameter of 10 μm, is contained in microvesicles having a diameter of 8 micron or less.
本发明涉及一种新的组合物,该组合物包含用于造影的充气微囊,特别适用于对至少两种频率不同的选定超声波提供有效的回声响应。所述组合物最好包含至少两种不同的充气微囊制剂,它们各自的非线性回声响应峰值相差至少 2 兆赫,并且最好具有不同中值尺寸的各自尺寸分布。特别是,所述制剂最好具有各自 DV50 值相差至少 0.5 μm,更优选至少 1.0 μm 的粒度分布。或者,所述组合物的体积分布显示出 0.16 或更高的鲍利偏度值。根据一个优选的实施方案,以直径不超过 10 μm 的微囊群计算,所述微囊所含气体总体积的至少 95% 包含在直径为 8 微米或更小的微囊中。
