Macromolecular Proton Fraction (MPF) is the relative amount of protons associated with macromolecules involved in magnetization transfer with free water protons. MPF is typically measured by quantitative magnetization transfer methods. In this work, we reported that MPF can also be measured based on spin-lock. Compared to the existing MPF methods, our method requires fewer parameter maps. We demonstrated our method using simulation, phantom, and in vivo experiments.
