Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A medical tissue-marker which enables the identification of a location even from the outside of an organ, can remain topical over a long period, and enables the easy identification of a marked location within the whole organ; also a manufacturing method for the medical tissue-marker. The medical tissue-marker includes a vesicle formed by the synthesis of a phospholipid and a near infrared fluorescent dye, and an emulsion formed by the synthesis of the phospholipid and an X-ray contrast medium, and has agglomerated clusters wherein the vesicle and the emulsion are contained in a hydrophilic solvent and a plurality of capsules are formed by use of an emulsifier.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A medical tissue-marker comprising: a plurality of capsules formed and aggregated by an emulsifier, each capsule containing a hydrophilic solvent, a vesicle and an emulsion, wherein the vesicle is formed by combining a phospholipid and a near-infrared fluorescent dye, the emulsion is formed by combining the phospholipid and an X-ray contrast medium, the X-ray contrast medium is also provided outside of the capsules, the phospholipid is phosphatidylcholine and the X-ray contrast medium is a member selected from the group consisting of iodobenzene and derivatives thereof and barium salt and mixtures thereof. 2. The medical tissue-marker according to claim 1 , wherein the hydrophilic solvent includes water and an edible thickener.
