We have developed a CEST MRI method that can measure pH using ioversol, a contrast agent that is clinically approved for X-ray imaging and has been repurposed for CEST MRI studies. Using ioversol as a CEST agent, we have measured pH over a range of 6.0 - 7.8 pH units by a novel ratiometric pH MRI method, in a concentration-independent manner. We also have used this agent and CEST MRI method to measure the extracellular pH (pHe) within the liver of healthy SD rats.
