  • VASCULAR IMAGING AGENTS
    Publication number: 20130331690
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of in vivo optical imaging, of the blood vessels and/or blood pool of a mammalian subject, which comprises an optical imaging contrast agent. The optical imaging agents comprise conjugates of far-red or near-infrared dyes with synthetic polyethyleneglycol (PEG) polymers having a molecular weight in the range 15-45 kDa. Also disclosed are methods of treatment monitoring, methods of diagnosis and medical uses involving the contrast agents.

  • Ultrasound triggering method to reduce cardiac arrhythmia
    Patent number: 7931595
    Abstract: The invention relates to a triggered ultrasound imaging method for imaging of the myocardium, minimizing the risk of eliciting cardiac arrhythmia. Particularly, the invention is directed to a method of assessing cardiac perfusion. Destruction pulses are triggered such that they fall within the refractory period of the heart, while imaging pulses are triggered at any given time of the ECG cycle, preferably during end-systole.
