Abstract
A brominated perfluorocarbon emulsion non-toxic for internal and intravenous use in animals including humans for use as an oxygen transport medium and as a tumor and other element contrast enhancement medium is stable with very small size characteristics for extended periods in excess of eighteen months and after sterilization, with a stabilizing component selected from the class comprising steroid hormones, tocopherols, cholesterols and their combinations. An anti-oxidizing component enhances delivery in oxygen transport.
