Patent ID: 8753606

Claim:
A multimodal imaging method in vivo using a nano-emulsion comprising quantum dot nano-particles reformed with a perfluorocarbon for surface reforming, and 19 F-containing perfluorocarbons, the method comprising: injecting the nano-emulsion in vivo to simultaneously perform multicolor ray emission of the quantum dot nano-particles and control of resonance frequencies in accordance with the kinds of 19 F-containing perfluorocarbons (a first step); measuring the combined wavelength of the emitted rays and the controlled resonance frequency of the 19 F-containing perfluorocarbons (a second step); wherein the quantum dot nano-particles reformed with a perfluorocarbon for surface reforming are dispersed in the 19 F-containing perfluorocarbons; and the perfluorocarbon for surface reforming is not a 19 F-containing perfluorocarbon.
