Patent number: 11186553Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of preparation of formulations of lanthanide metal complexes of macrocyclic chelators which further comprise a small excess of free chelator. The method uses a solid phase-bound scavenger chelator to remove excess lanthanide metal ions, prior to the addition of a defined excess chelator. Also provided is a method of preparation of MRI contrast agents, together with solid-phase bound chelator meglumine salts useful in the methods.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2015Date of Patent: November 30, 2021Assignee: GE HEALTHCARE ASInventors: Mikkel Jacob Thaning, Andreas Richard Meijer

Patent number: 11110185Abstract: The present invention relates to in vivo imaging and in particular to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Provided by the present invention is a pharmaceutical formulation suitable for use in an MRI procedure and which offers advantages over known such formulations. A particular dose of the pharmaceutical formulation of the invention is also envisioned as well as the use of said dose in a method of in vivo imaging. This present invention provides for simultaneous administration of a liver specific agent and a second MR contrast agent that is capable of better/further enhancing the dynamic vascular phase in a patient. The method of the invention has the advantage of simplicity and patient comfort, compared to sequential injections. Furthermore, the method of the invention provides the advantage that it can enable a lower cumulative dose of contrast agents.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2016Date of Patent: September 7, 2021Assignee: GE HEALTHCARE ASInventors: Andreas Richard Meijer, Mikkel Jacob Thaning, Paritosh Jayant Dhawale, Salvatore Desena, Paul Alexander Jones, Deirdre Cassidy, Concetta Valeria Gringeri
