A comparison of emulsifiers for the formation of oil-in-water emulsions: stability of the emulsions within 9  h after production and MR signal properties

ConclusionLecithin is suggested as the preferred emulsifier of oil-in-water emulsions in MRI as it shows a high stabilizing ability and remains invisible in MRI experiments. In addition, lecithin is suitable as an alternative means of adjusting relaxation times and ADC values of water.
