Chemical Exchange Saturation Transfer (CEST) has been attracting attention as a molecular imaging method to investigate myocardial muscle energetics according to creatine changes. In this study, we proposed a robust CEST imaging technique from cardiac and respiratory motion using golden angle radial readout to achieve CEST imaging at the heart of the rat. We investigated the feasibility of the proposed method for the creatine phantom and a normal rat.
