SULFUR HEXAFLUORIDE is a component of LUMASON® (sulfur hexafluoride lipid-type A microspheres). It is an ultrasound contrast agent indicated for use in the heart echocardiography and in ultrasonography of the liver and the urinary tract. The sulfur hexafluoride lipid microspheres are composed of SF6 gas in the core surrounded by an outer shell monolayer of phospholipids with palmitic acid as a stabilizer.
