Disclosed herein are agents for enhancing the contrast in a diagnostic ultrasound procedure. These agents comprise colloidal dispersions of the liquid-in-liquid type, i.e., emulsions or microemulsions, in which the dispersed liquid phase has a boiling point at or below the body temperature of the organism to be studied and thus undergoes a phase change from a dispersed liquid to a highly echogenic dispersed gaseous foam or kugelschaum following administration to an organism. The liquid state of the dispersed phase allows one to manufacture extremely stable, pharmaceutically acceptable emulsions with particle sizes typically below 1000 nm. The gaseous state at body temperature yields highly echogenic microbubbles, typically below 10,000 nm in diameter, which are effective as ultrasound contrast agents. Intravenous, intraarterial, oral, intraperitoneal, and intrauterine dosage forms, methods of administration, and imaging techniques are described.
本文公开了一种增强诊断超声成像对比度的药剂。这些药剂包括液体-液体型胶体分散液,即乳液或微乳液,其中分散液相在被检测生物体的体温以下沸点,因此在给生物体注射后从分散液体相转变为高声学对比度的分散气态泡沫或库格尔沙。分散相的液态使得可以制造粒径通常低于1000纳米的极其稳定的药用乳剂。体温下的气态产生高声学对比度的微泡,直径通常低于10,000纳米,有效作为超声对比剂。描述了静脉、动脉内、口服、腹腔内和子宫内剂量形式、给药方法和成像技术。
