Perflubron (perfluorooctyl bromide) is a radiocontrast agent formerly used in diagnostic imaging, particularly as a contrast medium for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT). It is a fluorinated, inert compound that enhances imaging quality. Perflubron is no longer widely approved or used in current practice.
No published peer-reviewed pharmacokinetic studies are available for perflubron as an imaging agent in humans; pharmacokinetic parameters below are estimated based on animal studies, the physicochemical properties of perfluorocarbon compounds, and limited human imaging reports.
