In this study, we propose a novel approach to determine the steady-state of CEST experiments without the application of prolonged saturation periods. This is achieved by numerically calculating the steady-state from a measurement with a reduced saturation period (in the order of the water proton T1). This may allow quantitative CEST measurements, capable of providing information about pH and metabolite concentrations, in a reasonable and clinical relevant time frame.
