APT imaging is important molecular MRI technique that
detect endogenous mobile proteins in tissue, such as
those in the cytoplasm. To quantitatively assess APT and
NOE effects in vivo, a new fitting approach has been
introduced, which is based on the extrapolated
semi-solid MT model reference signals. The quantitative
APT and NOE signals were measured and compared with the
commonly used MTRasym(3.5ppm) in human glioma at 3
Tesla. The quantitative results showed that APT signals
were significantly higher in the glioma than in the
normal tissue and edema, and were the major contributor
to the APT-weighted image contrast.
