Perflubron (INN/USAN, or perfluorooctyl bromide; brand name Imagent) is a contrast medium for magnetic resonance imaging, computer tomography and sonography.[1] It was approved for this use in the United States by the Food and Drug Administration in 1993.[2]

Experimental research

Script error: No such module "For". Perflubron has also been tested experimentally for use in liquid breathing in premature infants with respiratory distress.[3][4]
