  • Apparatus and method to convey a fluid
    Patent number: 10369344
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a fluid path, a coupling, and a nozzle. The fluid path is to carry a fluid including one or more microparticles. The coupling is located in the fluid path. The nozzle is located in the fluid path to move the fluid through a stagnant region located near the coupling. A method includes introducing a fluid including one or more microparticles into a fluid conduit including a coupling, aligning the fluid conduit near the coupling with a force field, and introducing the fluid includes delivering the one or more microparticles to a vasculature.

  • Composition apparatus and method for use in imaging
    Publication number: 20080038190
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a composition comprises a microparticle including a radioactive isotope and an imageable element. In another embodiment, a method includes forming a microparticle including a target isotope and an enriched paramagnetic isotope, and transforming the target isotope into a radioactive isotope. In yet another embodiment, an apparatus includes an imaging system to image a subject; and a radioactive microparticle suitable for infusion into the subject for imaging by the imaging system and including an enriched paramagnetic isotope that is enriched to reduce generation of radioactive impurities while maintaining or improving imaging sensitivity.
