Chemical
exchange saturation transfer (CEST) is widely exploited in magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI) because of its special quantitative contrast mechanisms. To
overcome the long acquisition time required by fast spin-echo multi-slice
imaging and alleviate the sensitivity to field inhomogeneity and chemical shift
effects appeared in echo planar imaging, we proposed a CEST imaging scheme
based on spatiotemporally encoded magnetic resonance imaging (SPEN MRI).
Experimental results validated the feasibility and capability of the new
scheme.
