Perfluorobutane (PFB) is an inert, high-density colorless gas used as a replacement for Halon 1301 in fire extinguishers, as well as the gas component for newer generation microbubble ultrasound contrast agents. Perflubutane has been used in clinical trials for the diagnostic of Liver Mass, Liver Diseases, Liver Metastasis, Portal Hypertension, and Peripheral Artery Disease. Perflubutane perfusion echocardiography has the potential to be a cost-effective and convenient alternative to nuclear perfusion imaging. Ultrasound enhanced with Perflubutane was able to image myocardial perfusion and obtain information that appears comparable to nuclear imaging.
