Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Composite particles, each of which is obtained by forming, on the surface of a gadolinium oxide-containing particle, a cover film that contains a polymer obtained by polymerizing a monomer component containing a monomer having an ethylenically unsaturated bond; a macrophage imaging agent which contains the composite particles; and a method for producing composite particles, wherein a monomer component containing a monomer having an ethylenically unsaturated bond and gadolinium oxide-containing particles are mixed with each other, and after emulsifying the thus-obtained monomer component-containing mixture in water in the presence of a surfactant and a polymerization initiator in water, the monomer component is polymerized, thereby forming cover films on the surfaces of the gadolinium oxide-containing particles.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A macrophage imaging agent used for macrophage imaging by a magnetic resonance imaging method, comprising composite particles in which a coating film containing a polymer made by polymerizing a monomer component containing a monomer having an ethylenically unsaturated bond is formed on the surface of a gadolinium oxide-containing particle. 2 . A composite particle used in a macrophage imaging agent, comprising a gadolinium oxide-containing particle and a coating film containing a polymer made by polymerizing a monomer component containing a monomer having an ethylenically unsaturated bond, wherein the coating film is formed on the surface of the gadolinium oxide-containing particle. 3 . A method for producing the composite particle according to claim 2 , comprising: mixing a monomer component comprising a monomer having an ethylenically unsaturated bond with a gadolinium oxide-containing particle, emulsifying the resulting monomer component-containing mixture in water in the presence of a surfactant and a polymerization initiator, and thereafter polymerizing the monomer component to form a coating film on the surface of the gadolinium oxide-containing particle.
