1. A multimodal imaging method in vivo using a nano-emulsion comprising quantum dot nano-particles reformed with a perfluorocarbon for surface reforming, and 19F-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 19F-containing perfluorocarbons (a first step);

    measuring the combined wavelength of the emitted rays and the controlled resonance frequency of the 19F-containing perfluorocarbons (a second step);

    wherein the quantum dot nano-particles reformed with a perfluorocarbon for surface reforming are dispersed in the 19F-containing perfluorocarbons; and

    the perfluorocarbon for surface reforming is not a 19F-containing perfluorocarbon.
