Analytical solutions provide sound insight in the Bloch-McConnell equations that underlie every exchange-weighted contrast, be it CEST, T1p or T2. In this lecture we show that for all experiment affecting the water magnetization, a single eigenvalue solution is able to describe all these experiments. This knowledge forms the basis for interpretation of the outcomes of different exchange-weighted contrasts as well as quantification of exchange.
