Synopsis
To date, chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) is rarely used in abdominal imaging of human body due to its high sensitivity to motion. In this study, we developed a free-breathing abdominal CEST sequence that uses a precise respiratory synchronization strategy and includes a water presaturation module. Preliminary in-vivo experiments showed that the proposed sequence outperformed non-triggered and breath-holding abdominal CEST in reducing the slice position inconsistency between the frequency offsets and motion-induced noise.
