A feasible way to accelerate data acquisition while maintaining accurate CEST characterization is highly desirable. We here postulated that compressed sensing (CS) can be applied to reduce the acquired data by a factor up to 5 without losing CEST quantification accuracy. CS technique was verified with experimental measurements from a tissue-like phantom, and the results showed that CESTR with undersampling rate R < 5 agree reasonably well with those of fully sampled data. In summary, our study demonstrates the feasibility of CS technique to accurate quantify CEST MRI.
