Summary

This study deals with the development of new generations of contrast agent for biomedi-cal imaging based on nano-emulsions templates. Compared to common and clinical contrast agents, nano-emulsions brings new real advan-tages like a long circulation in blood, the control of the biodistribution and pharmacokinetics, and the absence of toxicity.
