Keywords: CEST & MT, CEST & MTChemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) imaging provides important molecular information that can reflect changes in various pathologies. However, applying CEST to lipid-rich organs, such as the breast, is technically challenging, where the lipid artifacts can grossly affect the CEST signal. In this study, we propose a novel differential analysis method with fitted magnetization transfer and lipid contributions (DIGITAL) to remove the lipid artifacts without changing the acquisition sequence. The DIGITAL method was validated on breast cancer patients, and yielded fewer lipid artifacts and better image smoothness than previous analysis-based methods.
