A theoretical analysis of chemical exchange saturation transfer echo planar imaging (CEST-EPI) steady state solution and the CEST sensitivity efficiency-based optimization approach.
Chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) MRI is sensitive to dilute labile protons and microenvironmental properties, augmenting routine relaxation-based MRI. Recent developments of quantitative CEST (qCEST) analysis such as omega plots and RF-power based ratiometric calculation have extended our ability to elucidate the underlying CEST system beyond the simplistic apparent CEST measurement...
متن کاملEvaluating the use of a continuous approximation for model-based quantification of pulsed chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST)
Many potential clinical applications of chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) have been studied in recent years. However, due to various limitations such as specific absorption rate guidelines and scanner hardware constraints, most of the proposed applications have yet to be translated into routine diagnostic tools. Currently, pulsed CEST which uses multiple short pulses to perform the s...
متن کاملInverse Z-spectrum analysis for spillover-, MT-, and T1 -corrected steady-state pulsed CEST-MRI--application to pH-weighted MRI of acute stroke.
Endogenous chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) effects are always diluted by competing effects, such as direct water proton saturation (spillover) and semi-solid macromolecular magnetization transfer (MT). This leads to unwanted T2 and MT signal contributions that lessen the CEST signal specificity to the underlying biochemical exchange processes. A spillover correction is of special i...
متن کاملPARAMAP: an Automated Imaging Analysis Tool for Quantitative CEST Molecular Imaging: Validation in vitro
Introduction Recently, a new class of paramagnetic contrast agent has been developed for Chemical Exchange Saturation Transfer (PARACEST) magnetic resonance imaging [1-3]. Since visualizing CEST contrast requires two measurements with B1 saturation applied on-resonance (at +δ, frequency of the shifted bound water) and off-resonance (at -δ), CEST imaging is sensitive to inhomogeneities in both B...
متن کاملGlycoCEST using FISPCEST
Introduction: In vivo and non-invasive measures of hepatic and muscular glycogen are needed to effectively study diabetes and metabolism in humans and animals. C13-MRS methods have been shown to accurately measure glycogen levels; however, C13-MRS suffers from relatively poor spatial resolution and is not available on the majority of clinical MRI scanners. More recently, glycogen’s inherent CES...
