Physiologically acceptable emulsions containing perfluorocarbon ether hydrides and methods of use
This invention relates to physiologically acceptable emulsions of perfluorocarbon ether hydrides having 8 to 12 carbon atoms. These novel emulsions have various medical applications. They are especially useful medically as contrast media for various biological imaging modalities such as nuclear magnetic resonance, .sup.19 F-magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound, x-ray, and computed tomography, as oxygen transport agents or "artificial bloods" in the treatment of heart attack, stroke, and other vascular obstructions, as adjuvants to coronary angioplasty and in cancer radiation treatment and chemotherapy.
