July 16, 2010 – Lantheus Medical Imaging Inc. this week announced the launch of its ultrasound contrast imaging agent, Definity Vial For (Perflutren Lipid Microsphere) Injectable Suspension, in India.

The company has signed a multiyear agreement with Mumbai-based J.B. Chemicals & Pharmaceuticals Ltd. (JBCPL) for the distribution and marketing of Definity in the Indian marketplace.
