  • METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR CELL TRACKING AND MOLECULAR IMAGING
    Publication number: 20180099059
    Abstract: A composition for cell tracking and molecular imaging containing perfluorocarbon (“PFC”) droplets having a liquid PFC core enclosed within a stabilizing shell and embedded with solid nanoparticles. The solid nanoparticles act as nucleating agents for reducing the activation pressure of the liquid PFC core required to transition the liquid PFC core to a gaseous microbubble thereby permitting the use of more body-temperature stable longer chain PFCs in the liquid PFC core. The improved stability of the PFC droplets with a reduced or limited increase in the activation pressure required due to the nucleating nanoparticles improves the efficacy of using the PFC droplets as phase-change contrast agents.
