Abstract. In the paper, a new contrast agent based on fluorocarbon emulsion was prepared. It has the same shot T1-relaxation time of protons as commercial contrast agent Omniscan®, and at the same time it provides a strong NMR signal on 19F nuclei. Due to these properties, the elaborated agent is promising for simultaneous 1H and 19F magnetic resonance imaging.

Key words: magnetic resonance imaging, NMR spectroscopy, fluorocarbons.
