, (2008/06/13)
The invention regards new brominated compounds containing one or two phenyl rings with favorable physico-chemical properties, good tolerance profile, stability and suitable pharmacokinetic profile as contrast media for X-ray mammography, their pharmaceutical formulations and radiological application. The described new bromine contrast media will increase the sensitivity and specificity of X-ray mammography especially in problematic cases. The new contrast media have a higher X-ray absorption than iodine in the energy range used by mammography, a high hydrophilicity, lower toxicity and better tolerance profile than corresponding iodinated compounds.
