We propose a fast 3D whole-brain steady-state chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) method using MR Multitasking. Exploiting the correlation between images throughout the space, time and frequency dimensions, the low-rank tensor framework shows possibility for further acceleration of steady-state CEST, so that a whole-brain Z-spectrum acquisition can be done within 5 min.
