The present invention relates to an oil-in-water nanoemulsion composition for MRI, comprising:n an aqueous phase, representing 70% to 90% by weight of the composition, advantageously 75% to 85% and more advantageously from 78% to 82% a lipid phase comprising an oil, representing 9.5% to 29.5% by weight of the composition, advantageously 14% to 25% and more advantageously 17% to 21%, a surfactant at the interface between the aqueous and lipid phases, the surfactant comprising at least one amphiphilic paramagnetic metal chelate and optionally an amphiphilic lipid; the total content of surfactant by weight relative to the oil being between 4% and 10% and advantageously between 5% and 8%; the total content of surfactant by weight relative to the composition being between 0.35% and 2.95% and advantageously between 0.5% and 2%; the oil comprising at least 70%, advantageously at least 80%, advantageously at least 95% by weight and especially at least 97% of saturated C6-C18, advantageously C6-C14 and more advantageously C6-C10 fatty acids. |
