Ultrasound imaging with contrast agent targeted to microvasculature and a vasodilator drug

   
   

A combined preparation comprising: i) an ultrasound contrast agent capable of accumulation in tissue microvasculature; and ii) a pharamacologically effective amount of a vasodilator drug may be used in perfusion imaging, especially of the myocardium. The contrast agent accumulates in tissue in concentrations related to the regional rate of tissue perfusion, and the vasodilator drug enhances distinction between normally perfused and underperfused tissue.

Compreender combinado da preparação: i) um agente do contraste do ultrasound capaz da acumulação no microvasculature do tecido; e ii) um uma quantidade pharamacologically eficaz de uma droga vasodilator pode ser usado na imagem latente do perfusion, especial do myocardium. O agente do contraste acumula no tecido nas concentrações relacionadas à taxa regional do perfusion do tecido, e a droga vasodilator realça a distinção entre perfused normalmente e underperfused o tecido.
