Abstract

See full text

Organic compounds for diagnostic imaging which contain at least one aryl group which has been derivatized to contain at least one perfluoro-1H,1H-neopentyl moiety are provided. The perfluoro-1H,1H-neopentyl groups produce a single magnetic resonance to insure a maximum signal to noise ratio. One compound disclosed is 2-O-oleoylglycerol 1,3-bis(7'-{3',5'-di[2'',2''-di(trifluoromethyl)3'', 3'',3''-trifluoropropyl]phenyl}heptanoate). In the preferred embodiment, a lipid emulsion is provided as a carrier vehicle to deliver the derivitized analog to a mammalian recipient. Methods to use these compounds in MRI and computerized tomography are provided.
