| 20090269283 | METHOD AND PRODUCT FOR LOCATING AN INTERNAL BLEEDING SITE - A method is provided for localizing an internal bleeding site whereby a protein or other factor involved in the clotting process is complexed to an imaging agent and injected into a patient believed to be at risk of internal bleeding. A clot in the patient will naturally accumulate a certain concentration of the injected complex, and within a short period of time the concentration becomes sufficient to be detected by an imaging apparatus. The imaging contrast agent may, for example, be an MRI contrast agent, a CT contrast agent, a PET agent, or a fluorescent substance. | 10-29-2009 |
