  • MICROPARTICLE COMPOSITIONS
    Publication number: 20230066723
    Abstract: There is provided a microparticle composition suitable for molecular imaging, the composition comprising microparticles, wherein the microparticles comprise: a core microparticle structure having a central area and a shell, and wherein the core microparticle structure comprises (i) a phosphatidylcholine lipid: (ii) a phosphatidylethanolamine lipid comprising at least one maleimide moiety; and (iii) an alkoxylated fatty acid.
    Type: Application

  • Method for quantifying the characteristics of an object treated with a contrast agent
    Patent number: 9629935
    Abstract: The method comprises: a) receiving a plurality of imaging signals of the object over a period of time; b) measuring the signal intensity in each of the plurality of imaging signals corresponding to a point on the object; and c) curve fitting the measured signal intensity of the point on the object to a bi-exponential function comprising a first and a second exponential term, the first exponential term representing the decrease in concentration of the contrast agent which is free over time and the second exponential term representing a decrease in concentration of the contrast agent which is retained on the object over time.
    Type: Grant
