Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for preparing beads comprising imaging agent. The present invention further provides beads highly useful for medical imaging.

Claim (Index 4):
A method for diagnosing in a subject a pathological condition selected from the group consisting of thrombosis, myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury, stroke and ischemic brain trauma, neurodegenerative disorders, tumor metastasis and tumor growth, and rheumatoid arthritis, wherein said method comprises the steps of:\n administering to the subject beads comprising a radioactive imaging compound; and detecting the beads within the subject with a radio-imaging technique, wherein the beads are obtained by a method comprising the following steps: a) preparing an alkaline aqueous solution comprising an amount of fucoidan, an amount of at least one polysaccharide and an amount of a cross linking agent; b) dispersing said alkaline aqueous solution into a hydrophobic phase comprising a surfactant in order to obtain w/o emulsion; c) transforming the w/o emulsion into beads by placing said w/o emulsion at a temperature from about 4\u00b0 C. to about 80\u00b0 C. for a sufficient time to allow the cross-linking of said amount of polysaccharide; and d) putting the obtained beads in contact with a radioactive imaging compound, wherein said polysaccharide is selected from the group consisting of dextran, pullulan, agar, alginic acid, hyaluronic acid, inulin, heparin, chitosan and mixtures thereof.
