Indocyanine green formulations for imaging of the urinary pathways and their use for preparation of medicaments

摘要

The present invention relates to an imaging composition for imaging the urinary pathways, which comprises particles each independently comprising (a) a phospholipid, wherein a near infrared (NIR) fluorescent probe is non-covalently linked to said particle; or (b) an inclusion complex of said NIR fluorescent probe and either an hydroxyalkyl- or sulphoalkylether-cyclodextrin; and to a method of use.
