We made a phantom composed of two slice sections: a grid section for local offset frequency evaluation and a sample section for CEST effect evaluation using different concentrations of an egg white albumin solution. On a 3 Tesla MR scanner, a phantom study was performed using CEST imaging; the mean B<sub>1</sub> amplitudes were set at 1.2 and 1.9 µT, and CEST images with and without B<sub>0</sub> corrections were acquired. Next, region of interest (ROI) analysis was performed for each slice. Then, CEST images with and without B<sub>0</sub> corrections were compared at each B<sub>1</sub> amplitude. The B<sub>0</sub> corrected Z-spectrums at each local region in the grid section showed a shifting of the curve bottom to 0 ppm. Z-spectrum at B<sub>1</sub> = 1.9 µT showed a broader curve shape than that at 1.2 µT. Moreover, MTR<sub>asym</sub> values at 3.5 ppm for each albumin sample at B<sub>1</sub> = 1.9 µT were about two times higher than those at 1.2 µT.
