Diagnostic aid (Ultrasound contrast agent).

Imagent is an IV injected contrast echocardiography agent designed to image the left ventricle after traversing the pulmonary circulation.

... Patients with varying degrees of coronary artery stenosis on quantitative angiography underwent high-mechanical-index myocardial contrast echocardiography at 15 Hz to allow measurement of phasic changes in aBV in large intramyocardial vessels using either Definity (group 1; n=22) or Imagent (group 2; n=22) ... A systolic/diastolic aBV signal ratio of >0.34 provided a sensitivity and specificity of 80% and 71%, respectively, for the detection of >75% coronary stenosis in group 1 patients, whereas a ratio of >0.43 provided a sensitivity and specificity of 89% and 74%, respectively, for the detection of >75% stenosis in group 2 patients. Both the presence and severity of a physiologically significant coronary stenosis can be detected at rest by measuring the increase in aBV on myocardial contrast echocardiography that occurs distally to the stenosis without recourse to any form of stress.

... Twelve patients /were examined. with transcranial ultrasound angiography (t USA) via the temporal bone window after an IV bolus injection of a perfluorocarbon-based microbubble contrast agent (Imagent). The aim was to display the intracranial vessel segments of the middle cerebral artery (M1, M2 and M3), the anterior cerebral artery (A1 and A2), the posterior cerebral artery (P1, P2 and P3) and the internal carotid artery (C1/2 and C3/4). t USA is a B-mode phase inversion imaging technique that uses wideband harmonic signals for image generation ... t USA provides detailed anatomical display at native B-mode spatial resolution with fewer artifacts, yielding improved delineation of intracranial vessels that are in the 1- to 2-mm range.

The metabolism and pharmacokinetic characteristics of 1,1-dichloro-2,2,2-trifluoroethane (HCFC-123), 2-chloro-1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane (HCFC-124), 1-chloro-1,1-difluoroethane (HCFC-142b), and perfluorohexane (PFH) were studied in rats. The study was part of a program to investigate possible health hazards presented by candidate Halon replacements for use as a fire extinguishant. Male Fischer-344-rats and Sprague-Dawley-rats were exposed nose only to 10,000 parts per million (ppm) HCFC-123, HCFC-124, HCFC-142b, or PFH for 2 hours. Urine samples were collected for 24 hours. The rats were killed 0 or 24 hours after exposure and the tissue distribution of the compounds and their metabolites was determined by gas chromatography and fluorine-19 nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. HCFC-123, HCFC-124, HCFC-142b, and PFH were detected in all tissues of rats killed immediately after exposure. ... Most tissue concentrations of the halocarbons and metabolites were below the detection limit in rats examined 24 hours post exposure. ... No PFH metabolites were detected /in urine/. ...
