Imagent is manufactured from synthetic materials and packaged as a dry powder in a ready-to-use kit stored at room temperature. The powder is reconstituted with water to form an osmotically stabilized suspension of microscopic spheres, or microspheres, containing a perfluorochemical (perflexane) vapor and physiologic gases. Imagent is then injected intravenously into a patient undergoing a cardiac ultrasound exam.
