Hyaluronan-based imaging agents

摘要

Imaging agents containing hyaluronan (HA) and contrast agents. These imaging agents may include HA complexed with gadolinium, optionally with liposomes, and HA complexed with superparamagnetic iron oxides. A method of producing HA-based imaging agents includes mixing a solution of HA with a solution of contrast agent. A method of imaging using HA-based imaging agents includes using HA-based imaging agents to view cancer cells with magnetic resonance.
