A commonly used brand name in the U.S. is Imagent GI.
Another commonly used name is perfluorooctylbromide.
Description Perflubron (per-FLOO-bron) is a contrast agent. Contrast agents are used to help provide a clear picture during magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). MRI is a special kind of diagnostic procedure. It uses magnets and computers to create images or ``pictures'' of certain areas inside the body. Unlike x-rays, it does not involve radiation.

Perflubron is to be used only by or under the supervision of a doctor. It is available in the following dosage form:
