The present invention relates to cell labeling and imaging using a multifunctional perfluorocarbon (PFC) nanoemulsion. In more detail, the perfluorocarbon nanoemulsion containing optically characteristic nanoparticles is provided with both optical characteristics and 19F magnetic resonance characteristics, and is thus capable of carrying out magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and optical imaging (OI) at the same time. Cell labeling and imaging using a perfluorocarbon nanoemulsion containing quantum dot nanoparticles exerts no influence on cell viability. The above-described perfluorocarbon nanoemulsion is multifunctional and can be valuably and effectively used in cell labeling and imaging.
