Preferred Label : Contrast Agent CS-1000;
NCIt definition : An aqueous colloidal nanoemulsion containing perfluorocarbon (PFC) polymers that can
be used as a tracer for cell tracking purposes during fluorine-19 (19F) magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI). Upon administration of the contrast agent CS-1000 to cells ex vivo,
this agent freely enters the cells. Upon introduction of these cells into the patient
and subsequent 19F MRI, the amount of fluorine can be detected and cellular persistence,
survival and distribution of the treated cells can be assessed. The emulsion allows
for fast entry of the fluorinated polymers into cells; the polymers do not degrade
and remain in the cells.;
