We measured spin-lock relaxation rates as a function of locking field to quantify tissue pH and the concentration of an exogenous X-ray contrast agent, iohexol, based on chemical exchange effects. Results show that spin-lock imaging can be used to detect exchange-based agents and the effects of tissue acidification.
