CEST MRI becomes a frequently applied tool, however, a lot of method development is still done on pre-clinical scanners. Here we propose an approach that allows a fully automatic combination of existing MRI readouts for Bruker systems with open source pulseq-files for definition of CEST pre-saturation, without additional sequence programming. We believe that our work facilitates both basic research on CEST MRI and straightforward implementation of sophisticated, precisely defined CEST experiments on Bruker systems. Additionally, the use of Pulseq provides a universal, sharable standard to run the exact same pre-saturation in simulations and on clinical devises at a later stage.
